Pros
**High end learning experience but unrealistic growth targets resulted in "looking good over doing good" for clients and low self-esteem in employees*** hardworking team and colleagues delivering highest quality products possible. the best type of portfolio management that's not accessible to the retail market, including high net worth worked with the best experts in the asset classes they are covering institutional grade group rrsp with flexible benefit options and fund options global brand many company sponsored activities large team of resources - worked with colleagues located globally in-house reporting program reduces the need for tedious excel very socially respectable and prestigious career choice
Cons
fast paced environment with very very tight deadlines high expectations like unrealistic sales targets or unrealistic expectations on employees that cause firm inner instability which ends in regular mass exodus. investment advice quality degrades over time that is not noticeable to clients who are blinded by slick presentation and smooth talking of consultants. (consultants prefer to give good advice but they do not have time to give good advice if they are forced to meet on sales targets) high quality products sometimes wasted time and energy on details that don't add value large global team doing various things sometimes hard to coordinate due to over specialization mostly nice colleagues and management that try to do the right thing within their powers to do so. but corporate pressure makes one feels powerless even at an executive level aka "golden handcuff"
