Pros

Flexible time off, as well as the ability to work from home. They'll also sponsor you for your Series 6, 7, 63, ect. If you are committed to becoming an agent, this is a good fit.

Cons

I don't know anybody who regularly clocks out at 5, like it says on our agreements. We always stay late and never receive compensation for it. Lots of micromanagement as well, but mostly the pay just isn't enough for what you have to deal with.

Pros

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

Cons

Cared more about building a program to attract interns than future employees.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
