Pros

Lot of locations from which to choose.

Cons

I believe the job of the financial consultant, as structured by Citi - as well as Merrill, MS, and UBS - has inherent conflicts with the structure: the consultants are to raise the money and be the very same people to manage the portfolio. I was shocked (and disgusted) overhearing people talk about the investments they made for their clients because those same investments yielded a premium commission for them.

Pros

Great benefits (PTO, healthcare, etc.) for FTEs

Cons

Everything else - Carousel of management changes - Vague and ever-changing role/job descriptions and associated metrics - The constant feeling that we're all about to be laid off but must "prove" our value in the meantime
