Vantaggi
The hours are really light People will know the company. If you enjoy the gratification of that then it's a pro
Svantaggi
Terrible place to start your career. Exit opps are minimal, as you do not have finance experience or real sales experience. You will have to really grind to get out, most intelligent people that got trapped here I saw it take upwards of a 12 months. People will always say you can go work for a client, never saw that happen. You will be extremely micromanaged and your metrics will be based on how many calls you make to clients and if they adopt a function. If you picture yourself calling people all day while they try to do their job to tell them there's a new feature (like right-clicking an instant message to reply directly) as a career, then you will love this job. If you would like to think independently, work in a challenging environment and use your brain a few times a day do not work here. Pay is brutal you will be servicing clients who out of school are making 1.5x you. Your coworkers will tell you that the clients job is going to be automated or is long hours and Bloomberg is a way better spot to work. Usually said coworker is just complacent or unintelligent (plenty of both around). If your options are Northwest Mutual or Bloomberg, I guess take Bloomberg.
