Pros

Worked with some great equally dissatisfied people across departments

Cons

Where to begin... rules, rules, more rules... cannot be one minute late 9:01 more than 3x in 3 months or will be docked pay 2% for 6 months, strict dress code, cannot eat at desk, leave any items out on desk including in progress project/work files, picture frame on desk must be company approved, no joke! kitchen closes from 9-11, 3-5 so cannot access coffee or vending machines during those hours, must take lunch between 11-1, expensive and crappy benefits, really bad vacation and sick time policies, zero flexibility, (even during hurricane/snow storms), firings of entire departments at new directors whim, will interview your replacement with your knowledge and even have you train him/her! extremely archaic processes, bad or non-existent business plans and execs have no clue/fear of the future/modern technologies, no chance at competing with companies such as Morningstar and many others going forward... RUN!

Pros

I was "let go" from the company more than a year and this was the greatest pro that ever happened to me. Currently work in a company that actually trains their new hires and treats you like a worker.

Cons

As a stock market trainee, you won't be trained at all. They don't care how you get your numbers - just get it done. A speck above minimal wage starting out way below industry level even for an entry-level job. Their retention rate is very low. They hire and fire a lot at the end of the fiscal year.
