Pros
Your colleagues will be awesome. Smart group. The culture is old school but when you go to the internal wholesaling dept the environment is pretty good. The field guys are among the best in the business.
Cons
Middle Management of this firm is God-awful. Good people in a vacuum, but when you put them together in any decision making situation it's like you're watching an episode of the twilight zone. Most of what you do on the desk is superficial. You meet your metrics and go home. This isn't a sales job, it's a metrics job. With respect to the field, most of the guys came up in the 80s and 90s so they have no idea what it's like to be an internal now. Most of them, if they had to start over, would never get to where they are now. And yet they continually act like they've been in your shoes before.
