Business outlook
Pros
Salaries and Benefits are very good especially for Director and above. Great job security, good work/life balance depending on department. Could be steppingstone towards a job with a financial firm, much better pay than SEC
Cons
Very political, run by lawyers who get paid as if they were on Wall Street but wouldn't last a minute in a real firm, very much like working for the post office, only better paid. Log jam at the top for young workers trying to get ahead. Examiners are treated poorly, but young employees might enjoy travelling and staying at second rate hotels.
