Pros

Nice location. It`s not hard physical work. Parking space. Company cares about this reviews so they are writing nice stuff here. Free pizza on Fridays. No need to work over weekend. Flexible vacations. Boss loves to travel so he is not in the office often. No need to be over intelligent to be successful, just lucky.

Cons

Long working hours. Sometimes 12-15 hours a day. Small salaries. Salary does not include travel addition. Or meal additions. Small bonuses, if any. With them included, salary is still small. Bonus payment is structured in a way that in case you decide to leave the company, you loose most of the bonus earned from the profit in the past 3-6 months. Huge overheads and other costs. And it just keeps increasing. Extremely hard to leave company if you are profitable. Penalties and possible lawsuits. Firm is hiring all the time and firing people frequently. Maybe 1 man out of 8 will stay. You will work hard just to allow them to steal your edge. Low sport activity. Possible heart attack. National Holidays don't count as you are working in foreign markets. No Christmas bonus.

Hi, We regret you have not had a better experience working in the Split branch of Positive Equity. It’s a relief to read there were at least some positives. Are successful traders ‘lucky’? Our stats do not bear this out. Almost all of our highest performing traders are substantial outliers in terms of academic achievement, sport and other competitive activities of skill such as music or poker. We hire on this basis. Starting a trading career is difficult and it sounds like you had a tough time. I wish it worked out better for you. Ultimately, we believe working with highly successful and intelligent people together on the trading floor, sharing trade ideas and innovations, is the best route to trading success. We appreciate you taking the time to post the review.

Pros

There is no limit how much you can earn - Top traders earn as much as a professional Premier League player Very nice people to work with. Everyone is motivated and willing to help Great team events like trips to Ibiza or club nights with private tables and bottle service You learn a lot about yourself and how you function under stress I am working at Positive for seven years now. At the beginning the job is very though. Long working hours are needed and the learning curve is very steep. But once you make it as a live trader there is no better job out there. If you work hard and have an appetite for risk the potential earnings are unlimited. And after seven years I am still looking forward to go to the office and hit the markets every morning.

Cons

Long working hours but these hours pay off
