Pros

I've been working at Stifel for about a year now. I can honestly say I really enjoy it here. Usually with a new job, the honeymoon phase wears off but it still hasn't happened to me yet. Stifel offers annual bonuses and great work/life balance. We have free soda machines on several floors and free coffee. They will pay for any security licenses to be obtained. This, to me, shows they care about your personal career development. Everyone is very nice and pleasant to work with. They also have different catered events in the building which helps boost morale and brings employees closer.

Cons

Only con I can think of is the fees employees pay when trading. I've also heard salaries could be a little more competitive (although I have no complaints about mine).
