Pros

If you like the illusion of working for a "cutting edge" trading firm that provides you all the trappings of a modern day boiler room operation then you have arrived at the right place.

Cons

Cutthroat culture masked by a teamwork edit sent down from the husband and wife owners. Let me very clear, this will never be about anything more than enriching the owners. You are a hired hand that have been given just enough rope to hang yourself. You will not sleep on Sunday nights ever again. In fact you may never rest well as long as you are working there.

Pros

The office space is nice.

Cons

Constant unjust turnover and random firings. The company rehires people that will eventually be fired or quit. It is a never ending cycle that repeats itself over and over. It is fairly easy to pin point the issues so I am convinced no one really cares. If they did then they would read the reviews on this site and take care of business but they rather fire and or push people out the door that know what is really happening on a day to day basis then fix the problems. I would not recommend this work environment to my worst enemy!!!!
