      Pros

      Group One has a casual dress, nice, fun co workers (non management). Interesting industry, beer on tap and a ping pong table.

      Cons

      Company is losing money and can not seem to fix the problem. Senior management rules by keeping support staff scared for their jobs at all times. New employees are treated like pledges in a fraternity. Turnover rate is insane for this type of company, even when it was profitable. Trader count is half what it once was with 5 traders leaving in May 2010. There was a major lay-off of support staff in April 2010. Trader compensation formula recently changed so traders receive much smaller percentage then before. Employee morale is so low it is hard to believe anyone shows up in the mornings.

      Pros

      awesome work environment... pretty laid back, good hours, fun coworkers (miss those guys) dress code I wore polos and sneakers every day (some days casual jean days at CBOE) pretty flat company structure, not a lot of the bs like other places technology was pretty impressive, comp seems in line with other firms trading was starting to come back, the days of 100k day trading good access to products

      Cons

      feel like firm goals did not line up with my goals too many employees for the size of our trading staff communication
