Pros

-Good work-life balance, no long hours -Business casual for the most part -Decent stepping stone in finance as Value Line's research has been well regarded in the industry; good intro to stock picking and research -Staff is generally helpful and nice

Cons

-Very few opportunities to move up the ranks, limited career growth; Basically a dead end job when it comes to advancement -A little bit old school when it comes to research methods, product development or selling strategies - rules could change at a whim -Relatively high employee turnover, though not as much as when former CEO Jean Buttner was around -Occasional acrimony between the various departments -Base pay lower than at comparable firms such as Morningstar or Thomson Reuters -Upper echelons/management can sometimes be insular and inaccessible

Pros

-Good work-life balance -Work is not very stressful -The only financial pro is that a job at Value Line is a stepping-stone towards more lucrative opportunities elsewhere.

Cons

-The pay is EXTREMELY LOW compared to industry standards, especially in Manhattan -Upper management is insular and inaccessible, even though the company is small -Lack of clear goals and guidance from the top -Since many fellow analysts work from home, it is rather difficult to collaborate with others and network -Departments do not effectively coordinate with each other -Few options for career development and advancement
