      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great place to get solid financial knowledge. Opportunities plenty to work and improve on your leadership and management skills

      Cons

      Not so great of an appraisal system. Visibility is the key to everything. If you are visible then you are there if not its a done deal.

      Jobs for the boys

      Director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good base pay, reasonable franchise, great team of traders and sales staff who generate the revenue, excellent teamwork, great communication and understanding between desks, sales and trading.

      Cons

      too much middle management who produce nothing, dip into the bonus pool, engage in politics, back stabbing, and generally interfere with otherwise successfully run businesses. Rate of growth slowing, middle management clutching at straws to justify their existence, at detriment to morale. I'd expect a mass exodus soon!They have no strategic insight to grow the business, do nothing but hire graduates and interns, and fire experienced money making staff, to give the appearance they're improving the bottom line.
