Pros

If you like the illusion of working for a "cutting edge" trading firm that provides you all the trappings of a modern day boiler room operation then you have arrived at the right place.

Cons

Cutthroat culture masked by a teamwork edit sent down from the husband and wife owners. Let me very clear, this will never be about anything more than enriching the owners. You are a hired hand that have been given just enough rope to hang yourself. You will not sleep on Sunday nights ever again. In fact you may never rest well as long as you are working there.
