Not ideal but OK

Pros

Great room to grow, expand your potential as an employee with little supervision and oversight while also giving good mentoring opportunities and freedom to just run with it

Cons

At times a bit frustrating and stuffy at the higher levels of the company, which can potentially limit upside for the company. Not much else that can be done beyond that.

Pros

Good exposure to trading environment to form solid understanding with training offered and access to courses, generally ok work-life balance in comparison to competitors, broad spectrum of career opportunities, better than average pension and health insurance schemes plus other benefits (cycle scheme, child care vouchers), company bonus

Cons

Uncompetitive salary in comparison to market rate, junior job grade operators stripped of additional ("discretionary") trading bonus disincentivising the idea that working hard, over and above will be recognised and rewarded, too much middle management clogging up opportunities for progression and too many layers of approval, slow progression of salady and job grade, finance based overseas with no understanding of the bigger picture, lots of management politics

Pros

Plenty of hours. When customers begin to familiarize themselves with you it is a good opportunity to network.

Cons

Turn over rate is awful. Management is terrible in this industry.
