Pros
To be honest, there are some. Everyone's heard the term "Looking for a needle in the haystack". That's what you're up against working for FinPro. Yes, a few positives exist. But is it worth it, looking through ten bales of hay just to find one needle? If I could point one positive out, it would be that your compensation coming out of college is medium to high. However, do not expect this to increase with everyone around you. Its the reason people come to FinPro and run away after 1-2 years.
Cons
Prepare to dedicate your lift to shifting priorities. The first commandment of FinPro (and I'm serious when writing this. They have the Ten Commandments of FinPro hanging throughout the building) is "FinPro First". Management thought this commandment would inspire their continuously overturning labor. It has not, and never will. Had something going on at 7pm on Wednesday night? Expect no one to care unless you've put it on the calendar three weeks prior. You'll be working until 9pm that night to re-run the same quarterly report in a different scenario because "why the hell not?" One of the worst problems FinPro faces is the constant turnover.Besides the "regulars" (a core group of seven people), the workforce is a revolving door. People come in, collect their bonus at the end of the year and run away as fast as possible. Another issue is the lack of foresight the management team has. Everything is reactive. Not something you want from a consulting company, who advises on multiple community bank board of directors. The last con I will talk about today is the lack of career development employees receive. For the first 1-2 years, you are a glorified machine. You are expected to crank out quarterly reports in two days, pressing buttons and copying information from one spreadsheet to another. With so much production, you will not have time to learn what it is you are actually doing. So after taking this job, you are now two years behind in career development, compared to people pursue real careers after college.
