Thought it was just the industry, but where I am now is heaven compared to CS - Anonymous employee Currency Solutions Employee Review

If you are a junior, you won't make any money, the seniors are so bad, they won't close anything for you, they have no idea what they are doing. The corporate boss Roshel is completely deluded, he thinks his company is exceptional and no one can compete, I have been at other companies since, and CS are a laughing stock. Tier 2 brokerage at a long shot, can't offer 0% on forwards, charge for wire fees, only have one provider for currency, and not too clued up on what the market is doing/going to do. Although the training is good, it lacks on product knowledge, they don't tell you how it all works for the first few weeks, and you don't ever find out things like forward points, market orders, window forwards etc. When they do finally tell you how they do it (and they also tell clients this) they tell you its a p2P system that they have perfected.... In truth they buy everything from RBS. Highest employee turnover I've ever seen. Most young apprentices, who get 2 weeks pay taken if they are late. Although the contract is so badly written you will get it back eventually. Every time they hire apprentices, they get 25, and keep about 4. In all honesty there is only one guy who earns good money (Relative to FX brokering) and that's because he has one huge account that trades every month, even he says he was lucky. Other things are small things that really annoyed me and are just plain stupid. You can't talk to other people who have left or been fired otherwise you will be fired. And also you can't go out for drinks with colleagues. Unless if its a company party which are decent to be fair. Overall, if you grit your teeth and put up with the awful management from Roshel, and you are decent at your job, you may make some money, but never pass leads to seniors, just do it yourself, you are probably better than them anyway. But to be honest if you are good enough at your job, go someplace else, tier 1 brokerages are harder to get into, but I definitely much prefer the way everything is done where I work now tha at CS.
