INVESTools Reviews

Pros

Great work environment that provides several career opportunities

Cons

Outlook of where Investools will be in five to ten years is uncertain

Pros

There is literally nothing good that I can say about that hell hole, thank God I am gone.

Cons

Where does one start when a company is so rotten and awful it destroys the spirits of its employees and truly leaves the world a worse place for everyone involved? Oh and by the way - customers are being completely scammed and it is WELL KNOWN among employees. But hey, keep "believing" because you know how well wishful thinking works...

Pros

They do offer great 401k matchingm, health benefits, yearly top sales rep can earn a year end bonus, and no ceiling on compensation for bonus.

Cons

Rapid change. Most of the time it hurts the sales people, even though there is good opportunity to make some good money, it takes a long time to get there.

Pros

Nothing really besides popcorn Wednesday

Cons

Revolving door, they hire and fire. Management should train but it's easier to do nothing and then they just fire people

Pros

There is enough oxygen in the building that you wont die and the temperature in the building is fairly constant.

Cons

Even though I made good money there the environment is no terrible for the producers and the company lies to your face to get you to come on board. Those that remain suffer from Stockholm syndrome. Investools was about to BKO and was bought by TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. They forgot to get rid of the managers and management style that was running Investools into the ground in the first place

Pros

Get to meet new people and help with trading ideas. Helped get past limitations that prevented them from being profitable.

Cons

The training department is micro managed. This creates an uncomfortable work environment. There is little vertical opportunity for growth in the company.

Pros

I can't really think of any pros to working for this company other then some of the people are very nice

Cons

The commission structure is terrible, you are treated very poorly by management, they would rather fire people then coach them.
