Pros

Great atmosphere, collaborative environment, interesting work, good support from immediate supervisors. Work - life balance better than at Wall St. banks. Good pay. If you can stay happy and satisfied in the position you occupy it's a 5 star experience.

Cons

Mobility and rewards are limited to executives' favored staff. If you are mid-career ambitious, don't join FINRA expecting to prove your worth and climb the ladder.

Pros

FINRA has great benefits and a decent salary that along with a good work/life balance make it hard to leave.

Cons

Upward mobility is not available for most and careers become stalled for the long term. Staying longer than 5 years should be a conscious decision, whether in the same department or the company itself, as skill sets become highly focused and specialized -- read hard to transition to other functions or jobs at the senior or director level.
