Pros
None. I applied for Investment Analyst but for some reason the interview was for "Global Benefits Analyst". The job contract only mentioned Analyst and the interview was just behavioral so I didn't know until I started that the job scope was completely different. And now when I try to apply for Analyst roles, I get auto-rejected, maybe I got blacklisted, I don't know.
For my specific role, I have nothing to do. I only need to enter data from pdf into this excel spreadsheet and update pivot tables, and I chase clients to pay us. Can you believe it, for 2 years the clients didn't pay insurance premiums! Wow, and nobody knows what I'm doing because they don't know excel. My boss went for maternity leave for 1 year, 2 weeks after I started, without having the courtesy to inform me during the interview (she was sitting down so I didn't see her belly). I know my replacement got the job despite having no knowledge of excel, my boss force me to write a manual for her, and she is paid $4 more than me. Connections maybe?
Cons
3% annual increment
Definite 3/5 performance review if you are "new"
1 month's worth of bonus only
