Pros

Pre 2009 was best place I've ever been a part of. Culture used to be amazingly awesome. Smart people, Learning org, testing of ideas, entrepreneurship.... Etc

Cons

Treating people like a worthless trade Short sighted. Brokerage is really just a way to offset trading gains for taxes. People leave or fall victim to annual February firings.

Pros

Fairly good reputation in Chicago - good location easily accessed by public transportation. Office is well-decorated and the other employees are friendly and helpful.

Cons

Very cheap company - low salary ranges for similar jobs in other companies and industries. This leads to a revolving door and low morale. Communication between mgmt levels is very weak as is feedback and recognition. Seems to have more office politics than the typical firm. Very much a "CYA" philosophy. Leaders need to get their feedback from the people in the trenches - not just from the upper level mgmt.

Pros

It was remote and the people I suffered along were great

Cons

They treated valuable people poorly and celebrated / promoted people who didn’t deserve it.
