Friendly, Relaxed Company With Questionable Direction
Pros
Rather laid back atmosphere, company seems to care about employees with nice perks. New campus in Fort Mill is beautiful. Trade floor is very laid back for a trade floor and management is friendly. PTO is reasonable. Reps approve of the traders here and highly praise our knowledge. Help is always available when needed and training is great. Very accepting company when it comes to diversity which is important to some.
Cons
Company is growing extremely fast and upper management seems to have been flooded by some with questionable leadership abilities. Promotions all the time just because they need positions filled it seems. Company seems very silo'd as in nobody really knows what each other does and everyone blames other departments. Some employees here are just rude and not capable of their phone-based jobs. They make it sound painful they are here. From the trading perspective, getting time off is a huge pain, pay is not near as competitive as other companies, and the system is constantly having issues. A trading position often times feels like an IT job.
