Aegis Capital Reviews

Pros

Senior Management treated me like gold and the opportunities to grow were boundless.

Cons

There are no cons to speak of.

Advice to Management

Continue to maintain your standards.

Pros

You have one good benefit: Schedule flexibility

Cons

Compliance will stop you from doing anything, so they can do nothing

Pros

The fact I was able to get out of there

Cons

Everything, from reception on down to the CEO, is pure garbage. Yes, down to the CEO, as in this firm the Admins control everything, and the CEO resides in the sewer. Sour grapes? Not really, I had great success at this firm, but that's because I am smarter then all of the management there combined, and I didn't even finish college.

Advice to Management

Resign and , sell the BD shell to a reputable group. Advice to employees, and reps. There are options, regardless of what management tellss you. And if you all leave, they can't sue, with no revenue to support legal fees

Pros

As a summer intern at Aegis Capital, I had a fantastic experience. I was able to dive into multiple facets of the finance industry and work with closely with financial professionals. Overall great experience.

Cons

Within my time at Aegis, I did not have any cons to report.

Advice to Management

No advice, great firm.

Pros

huge earning potential, great products for SternAegis

Cons

If you don't come prepared to work you wont last long.

Pros

Provide amazing tools to succeed, but you need to be the self starter to fin them and use them. This industry has no ceiling for growth, however it's pure;ly up to you

Cons

see advice below as there are really no cons

Advice to Management

The need for Mentorship is obvious. Embrace technology, and you will win the millenials, who are starting to inherit the money.

Pros

Great people, fast paced environment

Cons

salary could be better, really cant think of anything else.

Pros

9-5 if you're in Operations. Don't expect any training on new systems. Since you are discouraged from leaving your desk, lunch is frequently bought for you. Good holiday party.

Cons

Technology and clearing are both last century. As a salaried employee, there is no HR dept or actual vacation or sick day policies. 10+ year's and I've never taken more than 10 -12 days total a year, no matter how sick or how much snow, you are expected to be there. And what the H*ll is a lunch break??!! And forget about sexual harassment, you're expected to suck it up and take it. Compliance is a joke. Everyone... has differing interpretations of the rules and they change constantly and deny what they told you a week prior (even if you show it to them in writing).

Advice to Management

Hire capable Operations people and make them available when needed. The top operations person works from home in Florida with two small children. So rarely answers the phone and hours lapse before emails get answered with generally a useless response that requires 5-10 more emails taking several days and often not answering the issue anyhow.
