Pros

Learning about the bond brokerage industry.

Cons

The company itself is just mis-managed and people are wrongfully promoted. Too many cliques and not enough professionalism is ruining this companies reputation, not only with their many former employees, but with their clientele as well. I have encountered so much negativity being spoken about others for no other reason than one person in management just not liking them, and when asked why, they have no other reason than they just don't think they fit in; meanwhile, that person is professional, and good at their job, but once one person didn't think they fit in with their group, they found a reason to let them go. Initially, I thought that the company was professional, judging only by the beautiful office building and the suits and ties, but eventually everyone begins to see how opposite from professional it really is.

Pros

When I was there they paid you a salary for the first 2 years as you ramped up and built your client base. You can go to commission before that if you are bringing in more money. Get all the holidays the bond markets get. Have a team that you can go to for the analytics and help you present it as a team.

Cons

No real autonomy here, feel like you are being watched a lot of the time. Treat you like you are in high school part of the time. No room to grow. Wanted a little bit more of a work/life balance.
