Pros

Great coworkers and supervisors who are always willing to help. Can potentially make good money.

Cons

Questionable sales ethics and tactics. Very predatory. They expect a huge time commitment for mild payout (unless you get an account that ends in a deal, which is very rare for new junior brokers.) The people you speak with on the phone are all either extremely dumb and poor or extremely dumb and far-right. I couldn't believe some of the things that these people believed about our government. The overall business model itself is vaguely reminiscent of a pyramid-scheme.

Pros

None. They had free lunch once a week. Other than that terrible.

Cons

Ever watched Wolf of Wallstreet? Pretty much that atmosphere. Narcissitic CEOs pumping everyone up, giving up phone scripts to basically call senior citizens that the government will collapse and to invest in gold now. Said these were warm leads, but obviously were not. Only 2% of people were making crazy commission while everyone else made around $19-$20. Every week they’d mass fire people in a very public way. Openly stated if we or customers complain they have the best lawyers to fight against them. Oh and the kicker? They are being sued. Like literally go on the website now and you will see it all. However they do go by several other names now. The tall gangly looking CEO is a narcissist and also has a terrible band.
