      Pros

      Convenient to transportation, very close to both major Metra stations.

      Cons

      Disorganized environment! I waited until 2:00 pm for my computer was set up. I do not recommend this place, there are too many people there who do not welcome new people if you are not part of their clique. People there have no patience for explaining things or training, try to learn on your own. If you ask a question you'll be regarded as stupid, inexperienced or annoying.

      Pros

      benefits, salary is near market rates with benefits making it a little better than some companies, they invest in training and education, great technology

      Cons

      lots of cost cutting and more to come, waiting is a requirement on every project, very few people have a true voice that management will listen to. the company is rife with politically savvy people, those that play it will or buddy up to the bosses get ahead, the rest have no hope, laterals are nearly impossible you have to already know how to do the new job and be a perfect match on paper.

      Pros

      Global marketplace covering all asset classes: fixed income, equities, foreign exchange, commodities, energy and metals. Incredible opportunity to learn about the markets. World class clearing house. Great benefits and competitive compensation.

      Cons

      Extremely political organization. Almost impossible to be promoted to a senior level unless you make politicking a full time job. Very siloed. Not a lot of work life balance. Somewhat cynical culture. Board of directors way too large. Meeting for meetings sake is out of control.
