Business Outlook

Pros

I worked with great people who had a desire to complete quality work and they were helpful throughout all aspects from training and onward. Good Benefits Work from home 2 times a week Very flexible which is a plus in the 21st century!

Cons

Upper management was like a boys club. Limited pay increase Limited room for growth. (They will help you grow by learning new functions, but will not pay or promote you)

Atmosphere is Always Changing

Business Outlook

Pros

A lot of helpful resources to find answers to common inbound questions and also procedures. Pretty laid back work environment. Most of the management teams are very easy to speak to, and are very helpful if you need anything. Multiple events throughout the year to encourage positive morale (Ice cream social, holiday parties, health and wellness fair, etc.)

Cons

Communication is not always the best between different departments. Some of the systems have glitches, and periodically break down or are not accessible due to maintenance. If you work in the service department, get used to getting yelled at by the financial advisors, and then getting push back from operations.

Friendly, Relaxed Company With Questionable Direction

Trader

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Rather laid back atmosphere, company seems to care about employees with nice perks. New campus in Fort Mill is beautiful. Trade floor is very laid back for a trade floor and management is friendly. PTO is reasonable. Reps approve of the traders here and highly praise our knowledge. Help is always available when needed and training is great. Very accepting company when it comes to diversity which is important to some.

Cons

Company is growing extremely fast and upper management seems to have been flooded by some with questionable leadership abilities. Promotions all the time just because they need positions filled it seems. Company seems very silo'd as in nobody really knows what each other does and everyone blames other departments. Some employees here are just rude and not capable of their phone-based jobs. They make it sound painful they are here. From the trading perspective, getting time off is a huge pain, pay is not near as competitive as other companies, and the system is constantly having issues. A trading position often times feels like an IT job.
