Avoid if you're ambitious
Pros: Very little actual work to do so the hours are great. People are generally nice. Since so little analysis or thought is required for the job it's very easy and simple.
Cons: Extremely boring and repetitive work. You won't gain any tangible skills from this job. Furthermore, your manager may be completely unaware of what your job actually entails since all different corporate finance functions are put together at the CoE. Instead of learning what the day to day work is for the analysts under him or her, your manager may be content to expect everyone to read their mind on a daily basis. Managers at the CoE in Rochester seem to think they are god's greatest gift to management when in fact they are simply supervisors for glorified clerks. Your manager will require of you to never approach work in an intelligent manner since they themselves are incapable of thought.
