Business Development Consultant
Pros: The role: It is a relatively easy role. A lot of prospecting and cold calling. Great quarterly bonuses too! A great first job for right after college, but not long term. 

The company: There is a great culture filled with a lot of young professionals (aged 22-30). There is a lot of flexibility here in terms of taking time off and working from home. They also provide great health benefits and match up to 6% of a 401k.
Cons: The role becomes extremely repetitive. After a few months, I already started to consider next career steps. There are a lot of internal politics and "red tape."  I find  a huge lack of passion in this role. The job is also relatively mindless-- i feel very useless at many times. I want to come in a feel challenged, but that never happens because the day to day role is so easy.
