      Glad to have had the experience but equally glad to be gone.

      Pros

      The organization has great benefits. Working in the Corp Headquarters is a better experience than working in a regional office full of individuals in positions of power with grand canyon size egos and very little people skills.

      Cons

      The only people who get promoted in this region are the individuals who have a good social personal relationships with management...ie...drinking buddies. If you are a hard worker looking to be rewarded for your efforts, don't work in this office. Yes sir mentality....tread with fear if you have an opinion that differs from management

      It's not run like a meritocracy. It's run more like a monarchy.

      Pros

      FINRA's mission to protect investors and maintain integrity of the market. A lot of the people who work there love their job they do. They have the best intentions and approach their work professionally.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, for too many, once they get into the higher management positions it becomes more about power and maintaining that than encouraging others to reach their potential. There's a lot of self promotion and promotion of friends to support the power base.
