Business Outlook

Pros

good entry level start, especially accounting

Cons

low pay, not professional corporate culture. People that work here have no clue about finance even though they work for financial institution. Moreover, dress like they shop at Wal-MArt ( maybe they are). If you are interested in the stock market, motivated and results driven this is NOT the place to be. Most of th epeople are here because they need a job not a career.

Pros

Get to take the initiative to learn much more about the market and the other sources with in the trade processing unit. Get the opportunity to help others perform at a quicker pace, and get great help from the upper management.

Cons

Should give more exposure to the market, and should respect the employees that know much more than the senior associates and should give them the recognition they deserve; which could consist of promotions, or any sort of compensation to show his/her appreciation of work.
