Pros

- No expenses spared when going through associate program - Online learning courses are not very relevant but still useful - Discretion of portfolio in the hands of the manager - Working with wide range of business great experience in gaining useful knowledge

Cons

- Low year over year pay increases; Low variable incentive pay - Dated computer software makes working some jobs much longer than they need to be - Some things just seem to be done backwards, but I think that is a problem in any large orgnaization
