Pros

Good location, some good people who know what they are doing. Discounted Starbucks on the brokers floor too. Not much else

Cons

Bully type playground on brokers floor. No one has gone to university, nepotism, saw 2 generations working on the same desk. Racist, homophobic jokes (yes they call it banter but this is a workplace) Shouting at each other rather than helping and supporting each other Low expectations and respect towards junior brokers (got shouted at for getting a herb chicken instead of a sweet chili chicken for one of the brokers - yes they make you get coffee and lunches for the brokers...)

Pros

I actually can't think of any. Remuneration and benefits aren't too bad and the offices are well located. There are a few people within the organisation that are professional and great to work with but the majority aren't.

Cons

A very strange work environment where bullying and bullish behaviour are commonplace and accepted. Little opportunity to rise up the ranks if you're working in back office roles, more opportunities if you're in a client facing role but you have to be overly aggressive to get ahead.
