Pros
Generally very good work-life balance for finance employees (trade-off is low pay, of course) Pretty good benefits In hindsight, very low-stress environment 401(k) match is/was pretty generous Not asked to do a whole lot, except during proposals or other special projects
Cons
Not asked to do a whole lot, except during proposals or other special projects To all those young people: most of your co-workers will be noticeably..... more experienced in the workplace, so don't expect an exciting work environment with lunches, happy hours, social activities, etc. Some of your co-workers will be the type considered low-to-mid performers at other companies, just putting in the time to get a paycheck Not a whole lot of career opportunities, I consider myself very fortunate to get the chances I had
