Really good for getting your feet wet in the corporate pool.
Pros: - Ability to learn about different departments in the financial industry.

- Good networking opportunities with the company directory and mentoring programs offered.

- Great benefit packages. 

-  There is plenty of room for growth - if you take advantage of the networking opportunities.

- Pay can be good for some - given that you negotiate properly.
Cons: - Lots of business cuts. You stop feeling like you matter as an employee and that you are just a number.

- Office politics and drama - at least in the department/building of my location. Very hard to move around without dropping rose petals for the right person. 

- Takes a lot to get a pay raise if you've been there for a while. At least it did with me. Shouldn't have to be that hard if you get promoted.

- Difficulty transferring from within. Recruiters would rather hire externally than from within.
