Pros

The company offers a lot of training opportunities Holds town hall meetings to inform employees of the company’s happenings

Cons

Too many layers of management makes it difficult to get things done Lot of backlogged work makes it frustrating for the member firms it tries to regulate For an organization that prides itself on investor protections, FINRA should do a better job fighting for it employee morale is low when hard work doesn’t lead to much

Pros

Some of the nicest and most helpful people, but fewer as they keep getting laid off or pushed out because of toxic leadership. The mission is a high priority for some. Great place to work for a very short time, then go.

Cons

Poor leadership, constantly changing without taking any time to understand impacts. Decisions only benefit a small group of friends who only respect other former FBI agents and their contributions. Morale is in the gutter and it comes off as intentional. Women are disappearing from management ranks and only tolerated as long as they are agreeable. People get resources based on popularity with the in group so some teams burn out while others have little to do.
