      A dichotomy.. it is what you make of it

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Tuition Reimbursement 2. Work-life balance; Good amount of vacation days 3. Good pay if you are fortunate enough to be in "preferred" circle 4. Opportunity to work with an inadequate number of talented individuals for a brief period 5. Tons of training opportunities 6. A highly useful portal/training ground to learn about futures, commodities, and even equities

      Cons

      1. Limited growth opportunity and lateral mobility 2. Mid and Low level management bloated with individuals that have 25+ yrs of experience each 3. Chicago-centric mgmt; NY location exclusively in a supporting function 4. Hints of Nepotism can be seen 5. Pervasive Bureaucracy; multiple layers of excessive management

      Good people. Great leader. Huge bureaucracy.

      Pros

      Most down to earth, relatable and competent CEO I've ever met. Great work / life balance (if you're in the right department) Access to as much professional development as you want. Tuition reimbursement Part of a 150+ year institution

      Cons

      Largest board of directors in the entire U.S., with an equally ridiculously large Management Team, leads to mind-numbing bureaucracy and red tape. History of being run by members / traders means there is less respect for sales and marketing functions. Politics. Politics. Politics.

      I liked it, but it's not for everyone.

      Pros

      Good pay for the work. Flexible schedules available after one year. Great health care benefits. Descent communication and feedback. A few bad apples, but overall I liked the people and enjoyed working here.

      Cons

      Overall, it seems like a lot of people are unhappy with management and looking to leave. I'm not sure if they are the type of people that will be happy working anywhere. You have to do a lot of writing and defend your work with data (often times over and over again). Sometimes it feels like you are assigned more work than you could possibly complete in the time given (isn't that every job though). However, people and management are usually supportive and understanding of the time needed for the tasks assigned.
