Pros

Very friendly colleagues, and very amicable. Opportunities to rotate within the company. Very convenient hours, typical 9-5. Very easy learning curve and once you understand the work it's a walk in the park. A job is a job!

Cons

Very low compensation compared to a similar role at other firms, extremely low bonus. Back office work, and transition to front office can be somewhat difficult. Not a lot to learn here after you've learned how to work here. Extremely repetitive work, can be mind numbing sometimes.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
