Pros

Incredible people, and a very entrepreneurial atmosphere. The relationship between commercial and support groups, as well as between the various offices and entities is extremely productive and strong. Processes and systems are also strong, and continually improving to keep up with the industry. The sky is the limit at this shop, if you participate in the employee led initiatives and clearly communicate what your ultimate career goals are.

Cons

Not sure this is even a "con" - but this is a strong work/life balance shop that tends to take a long-term compensation package approach. Other shops can sometimes pay more, but you will also work a lot more. Depends on what you are looking for.

Pros

1) Most people here are nice to work with - especially in the accounting group. 2) They will move you around to different departments if you would like to do so. 3) Competitive Salary 4) Love Shares - but only if you vest (partial vesting occurs after 3 years completed with the company - measured from each Jan 1). But they are giving these out less and less. 5) Convenient office location

Cons

Oh where to begin: 1) Management is terrible. They gave someone the position that has no clue about what they are doing. This person takes 0 responsibility for any of the issues and blames middle management for everything. Will throw you under the bus to save himself. Happened on multiple occasions. 2) They bought a terrible company, that was severely mismanaged and thought they were going to be able to manage it properly. There are no systems in place. They overpaid for this company and their backroom systems. Then they blame middle management when they do not hit the numbers they expect to hit. 2) Absolutely no recognition for a job well done, but bet you'll hear it if the slightest thing goes wrong. 3) Management plays favorites and shows favoritism to people that they specifically get hired on at the company. 4) That being said - management (one manager in particular) has brought on all of his previous employees from other companies. 5) Management will talk a problem (specifically "your problem"), but will take no reasonable steps to try to help fix a problem. Rather, management is more focused on drinking at nearby bars. 6) Dysfunctional environment 7) The traders & BD are everything here because they make the money. Everyone else is dispensable.

Way Underpaid

Pros

This company is great for fresh out of college students that don't know their worth, but for an educated professional with experience, the pay was almost insulting.

Cons

communication is below sub-par, no one talks about what's going on in the company, management has favorites & will not allow the people who have worked for YEARS with the company an opportunity to advance. You'd better know mgt or you're not getting promoted no matter how well you do.
