Pros

Although the reputation is awful, and it is very beauracratic, there is some great human capital at the firm. You will have access to innovative products and extensive research, both funamental and technical.

Cons

seemingly impossible for most people to advance to "front office" roles. specifically in Smith Barney, most financial advisors do not add value for their clients. in a tough market environment, this has become very evident. management and advisors focus solely on sales, and not enough on knowledge and market savvy. to call many of them "used car salesman" would be a fair assesment. also will not pay for graduate level education or certifications like the CFA.

Pros

The company is so big that there are many opportunities to obtain a varied work experience. They company is also very good about providing training, both ongoing and new skill development. You are also working for a company with international cachet.

Cons

It is easy to get lost in the shuffle. Here, the size plays to the company's detriment. One could easily feel like a cog in the machine, dehumanizing one's belief in one's self worth. There also isn't much corporate sense of loyalty. This is probably pretty true of most large corporations, but consequently, it leads to less loyalty among the employees as well.
