Pros

The financial rewards are there, but so are the risks. As with any sales organization, you are basically getting just a shell... a phone, a slow computer, and some pens (if you are nice). It's up to you and the people you know to get the most out of it. That said, you can do well there.

Cons

Longer hours, somewhat cutthroat. They penny pinch in every corner possible. It's a bit of a ponzi scheme, as i guess many of these places are, where the old guy takes the big cut while the younger guy (or girl) does the work. Tale as old as time.

Pros

They provide a wealth of learning materials to further your career.

Cons

My experience was that upper management does not understand what those in lower level positions do, and they don't take advantage of experience and knowledge of those below them to make strategic decisions.
