Pros

(1) Paid time off (2) Very low quality standards make working quite easy (3) Education reimbursement benefits (4) They have a virtual monopoly on parts of the futures and options markets

Cons

(1) There are very few competent people working here. Most of the best staff leave within six months to a year after joining. (2) Unabashed favoritism, nepotism, and racism (3) Extreme amounts of bureaucracy to the point where real work almost never gets done (4) Very poor management; I have never seen it this bad before (5) There is no culture to speak of; hypocrisy and double talk are the norm of management (6) Employees that do not go along with some of these issues are often harasses and retaliated against
