Pros

Good Mission. Lots of learning and educational opportunities. Can be fun and interesting job at times. Pay and benefits are above average.

Cons

Management is unable or unwilling to make a decision. Lots of people doing time. Senior management is all politics and kissing up. FINRA Spend lots of money on technology and training, and then goes back to old ways of doing things.

Pros

Great place to learn the industry, typically nice and helpful colleagues. Good access to industry contacts and expertise.

Cons

Save for a few exceptions, management is largely poor. This creates a toxic work environment where people are hesitant if not unwilling to help others who are potential threats or competition. Poor managers are rewarded for results without consideration to their employees.
