Pros
Reasonable work-life balance (if you weren't an analyst or associate). Co-workers were the best part of working there. It really felt like everyone was working toward a common goal and more often willing to pull you up instead of throw you under the bus (even though that tended to happen a fair amount, too).
Cons
The worst part was seeing the firm's culture change over the years until its eventual acquisition by Stifel Nicolaus in 2010.
