Pros

Being in the Summer Analyst program was considered prestigious. Working for Merrill, Goldman, Citigroup or Lazard is a great accomplishment.

Cons

The whole summer analyst program is simply over hyped. Interns don't really make that much and are forced into cold-calling, answering phones and essentially doing b--tch work. You learn very little in terms of finance and struggle to even grasp concepts of what the financial world is really about. Financial Advisers are selling bs advice from above and invest your money without much of a guarantee or foresight. It has given me a very negative opinion on finance

Pros

Great benefits and work/life balance if you're on the right team.

Cons

Having a bad manager dictates everything about your job. You will see no upward mobility or compensation improvement if you are under a poor manager.
