Industrials General Info & Best Groups 2020

What are the pros and cons of the Industrials Group? I know it's seen as a "classic" coverage group and is very broad with many subsectors.

Which BB/EB banks have great Industrials teams in terms of culture and deal flow? Is it one of those groups where all BBs (EBs too?) have a pretty solid group? Any distinctions between how BBs and EBs cover Industrials? I know MMs like WB are also very active in this space.

I'm looking at this from the perspective of joining as an Associate, but feel free to expand to Analyst, etc.

Thanks.

Edit: Interested in NY mostly, but would also like to know about Chicago.

In actuality (in no particular order - just some strong groups)

Goldman Sachs Morgan Stanley CVP (lands a lot of industrial mega-mandates) WF (strongish for whatever reason) RBC (also strong for whatever reason) Evercore Citi (large af but analysts spend all day doing bond issuances for companies like XPO) Moelis (does a lot of water services) BMO (if you group metals and mining in)
