Pros

Work life balance is excellent. Rewarding to be able to protect investors and the integrity of the marketplace on a daily basis.

Cons

Overall talent of human capital is mixed between "lifers" who lost motivation long ago and the young and hungry looking to do great work. Technology is severely behind. Lack of concrete budgeting and limited funding from Congress is severely undermining the Commission's mission.

Things have changed under the current Republican administration, but the SEC has always been known as a great place to work with the highest salaries in the federal government and very family friendly

Current share seems to actively hate his employees
