Pros

The work at FINRA is interesting, in the member reg department you gain exposure to all aspects of the securities industry and high level executives on wall street.

Cons

there can be a lack of growth opportunity. the hiring practices don't make any sense sometimes. alongside very competent and intelligent staff will be people who are clueless, which causes work to be unevenly distributed.

Pros

Extensive benefits, work life balance, incentive compenstation, committment to market integrity are some of the great reasons to work at FINRA. I would recommend working here.

Cons

It's like any organization with the pros and cons of managment. I think most people fall into a category of doing their job well and then are promoted without any regards to being an effective manager. More time should be spent and required on management development. Should do 360 reviews to get an honest asssesment of manager's abilities.

Pros

Great benefits, decent pay, not much experience necessary. Tremendous networking opportunities within the securities law community. Pretty easy for top achievers to stand out of the herd.

Cons

Not much opportunity for advancement. High performance is not rewarded commensurately with pay, work is highly repetitive. Performance reviews are tempered in order to protect against significant pay raises.
