Avantages
Casual dress code in the office.
Inconvénients
Management has absolutely no respect for their employees and they basically squeeze as much hard work out of you as they can until they no longer need you. You never feel like you are valued as part of a team and there is zero incentive to go the extra mile. Even if you stay at the office past midnight for three nights in a row to finish a deal you will get no more than a "thanks" and the next day another assignment will be on your desk that you will go back to work on most likely because you are in fear of losing your job. The office culture is pretty terrible and you are expected to be at your desk late every day even if you just finished a few deals and are slow at the moment. There is little room for upward movement as the owner's strategy is to have minimal high salary jobs and make their money off the effort of low salary employees. You certainly get good exposure to the CMBS industry but know that you will basically be an unvalued workhorse before accepting a job.
