Pros

The company provides an excellent training program and the support to succeed in the financial services industry. The firm is well known and this gets you in with many individuals. The training in New York is very detailed and they let you see and ask questions to the different groups that provide support.

Cons

Because of the nature of the work, there are very few who want to mentor you and help you become an established broker. At times, because of the size of the company you are lost after the training and support following that is very minimal. This is an area that I think could be improved.

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
