Business outlook
Pros
Ratings and promotions are very capricious so you may get lucky. Change is constant, so you will learn to adapt quickly. Sales and transaction counts are down every year, so you will become a maven of spin with numbers and words. Headcount reductions are frequent, so you will have opportunities master scavenging empty cubes for better office furniture and supplies.
Cons
Senior management changes so frequently that no one ever knows what's going on and nothing meaningful is ever accomplished. All the consultants make far more money than the associates they are supposedly there to help, while their very presence makes everyone fearful for their jobs.
