Pros
1. Market regulation works alongside member firms to protect the both, the investors and member firms (from each other and themselves) 2. Learn a lot quickly and, if you're on the right team, you will be challenged 3. Wonderful people with good intentions looking to to help people 4. Pay is decent. Decent pay is necessary because you need smart people in order to stop other smart people from trying to find a workaround in the financial system 5. Good work-life culture. 6. Good benefits
Cons
Funds towards team-building activities are non-existent. We shouldn't be afraid to use our funds wisely. Shouldn't need to work there for a year before teleworking. This is 2017 going into 2018. Much of the work can be done from home, so employees should have more freedom to reduce their commute time.
