      Pros

      Used to be o.k place to work.

      Cons

      Compensation, unpredictable travel. It's like a race to get out of there. Little or no raises, and becoming extremely difficult to get a promotion. New CEO is making cuts causing more employee turnover.

      Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We are sorry to hear you think your salary increases and promotion opportunities were limited. FINRA’s overall salary increase budget rose in 2019. We are also excited about the career opportunities available to employees. In 2018, more than 10% of employees were promoted. Attraction and retention are areas of strategic importance to FINRA and we continue to focus on ways to further develop, engage and recognize our employees.

      Pros

      -pretty much set work hours (40 hours) -good benefits, okay pay (less than industry though) -low pressure job (but not always) -a good 1.5 to 2 year job only, then you need to move on

      Cons

      -The work place can be great or bad depending on your manager/director/VP+ -time entry, you have to track 8 hours every day into a system -Not a lot of room for uperward mobility, or flexibility to move around (they say you have it but the reality of the situation is that you don't) -There is not a lot of transparency with employees just the perception -The evaluations appear to be made up at the last minute and are not helpful -working hard doesn't get you far, a lot of the times it's based on FAVORITISM -Management/director/VP+ don't provide directions and ding you when you get things wrong, very hawkish, very condescending -Management waits until the last minute to tell you to do something then expect you to jump through hoops to get the work done, it's not necessary and can be avoided but they choose not to do so
