Pros
I have been with this company for about 5 years now. I came in with little to no sales background. The sales training I received here was awesome. Its something you are actively involved in on a day by day basis and never stops. There are very few companies out there that give you this type of sales exposure. I have learned how to adapt and adjust my pitch for a variety of different clientele and also how to maintain relationships which result in further sales. Along with that I was surrounded by all different markets, Stocks, Options, Futures, Currencies every single day. I am extremely competent on all these markets and trade many of them myself. Its a fun environment, even though you must work hard its a good group and don't feel like I am "going into work" every morning.
Cons
If you are lazy or aren't willing to work hard/put in extra effort sometimes this job is not for you. We occasionally will come in one Saturday a month for 2-4 hours to close some clients we cannot reach during the week.
