Pros

Salary, you are paid for the abuse you will endure here. Count only the salary as a pro. And pto days

Cons

They are overly demanding and treat you inhumanly. You are constantly on call and even if you have to take a call in the middle of the night, you are expected to be in the office the next day on time regardless. Also, work from home on the weekends, there is no comp time or reward. bonus will be peanuts. If you see brokertec in the description, don't change jobs for this. Only take it if you have no other options whatsoever. This is a career ending opportunity. Don't take a trading support titled role here. They also fire people for the dumbest reasons, without any warnings, right before bonus time at the end of April. No job security at all. No flexibility at all. No work from home other than weekends which they require. The work itself is same thing over and over.. a lot of downtime where you are just sitting in the office as required. Rotating shifts are a joke. Team lead is anal that each shift be covered to the last minute. (7-4/8-5/9-6/10-7) so when you request a day off and are even 8-5/9-6 you get asked the stupid question of who will cover that shift. In a reasonable environment, the important shifts required are early and late.. there's an overlap that will cover the day shifts. But in this place... extremely stupid....
