Pros

The Associate job gives you exposure to a lot of industries, which is beneficial for people right out of college who don’t know exactly what path they want to take in business. The team culture is tight-knit and makes the days fun. The opportunity to train new joiners is great at such an early stage in your career –excellent learning experience

Cons

We don’t work with easy going clients. They’re demanding and have constantly changing needs, which can be stressful. There’s definitely a sales component to the role that some people don’t realize when they join. It’s a results oriented, quantifiable job.

Not as advertised: Linkedin and Cold Calling.

Pros

Compensation can be good if you are in the right team. Great (not professional) environment and friendly colleagues. Made good friends! Young workforce.

Cons

0 Exit oppportunities. Poor people managers. They are elevated simply for their sales performance, and they rely on p2p training. Problem is: managers who volunteer to lead trainings are usually the worse. Boring and tedious tasks: Linkedin and Cold Calling. If you hope to learn anything about an industry, do not work here. Most of the VPs are there just for tenure, but they have no idea what they are doing. Industry growth is still good, so they keep their seats for now. Turnover very high given poor managers. No challenges but high pressure on results, which often are given by external factors.

Pros

Nice people - made genuine friends

Cons

1. Senior Management are solely focussed on credits and revenue. 2. The work is incredibly boring - you will learn everything you need to know within the first four weeks then you will be doing that until you become manager 3. Targets are unachievable on some teams - your fate is decided for you as you have no say which team you end up in and some perform far better than others. 4. Work hours are awful considering the simplicity of the job 5. You are made to feel terrible about things that are completely out of your control. 6. This job does not set you up with any skills that will help you in later life - all you do is sit on Linked In for 11 hours a day. 7. Do not get sucked in by the salary ! Explore other options and pick something that will provide you with some proper skills. Surprised there are not more negative reviews - can think of over 15 people who have left on very very bad terms.
