      Pros

      Managers want you to succeed . Great role for someone looking for FINRS Certs

      Cons

      Found out the role was hourly on day 3. On day 3 I also found out they were moving campuses 30 min in opposite direction in sketchy part of town. Made me pay back one day of PTO once I quit. Could hear management talking poorly of new hires while sitting in next door conference room.

      Pros

      Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

      Cons

      Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
