Pros

Opportunities to gain a lot of knowledge related to the business of asset management. Good pay and good benefits. Lot of talented people.

Cons

As with all companies there are a lot of incompetent people in senior management. How they got there is a mystery, and is perhaps attributable to the tremendous growth the firm had between 2005 and 2008.

Pros

Workload is manageable they don’t put too much on you. Hybrid you come into office once a week.

Cons

Some managers are nice some are not and if you have a manager who doesn’t like you it will make the job stressful. If you get a zero for QA part of your bonus will be gone and if you get 3 within a 7 month period you will have to come into office 3 days a week and be on a final and will not get a bonus, bonuses could be higher in my opinion, if your not a good collector they could be as low as $500-$700 every 3 months if your a decent collector they could be $1500 every 3 months if your a good collector they could be $2250-$3375 every 3 months but the base pay isn’t high enough either it’s 50k to 56k all around just not enough money
