National Futures Association Reviews

Pros

Great place to work! Staff at NFA are very friendly and Management is really considerate of work/life balance. In addition, working at NFA is great place to learn and develop as a Finance Professional. I have worked here for about 3 years and have truly enjoyed the time spent with coworker and expanding my knowledge of the financial industry. I would definitely recommend working at NFA.

Cons

The only downside is compensation but that's only comparable to the rest of the financial industry.

Cons

No cons that I can think of.

Pros

Work-life balance Flexible schedule Lots of training opportunities Benefits: 401k, health insurance, tuition reimbursement

Cons

Open work environment is great for collaboration, but you don't have any privacy

Pros

NFA has wonderful benefits. You can choose to 'purchase' more vacation or sick days, telecommuting once a week is usually allowed, and flex days for time off is really nice. the trainings for new employees are good as well.

Cons

It's a very political organization. Promotions depend on how well liked you are by your managers, and people who suck up to upper management definitely get more opportunities. If you mess up or fall behind once, it's very easy for things to snowball, and instead of managers actually coaching their staff, they create unrealistic deadlines to keep that staff member down. I've never had a problem working with men before,...

Advice to Management

Make sure staff are given equal opportunities. Make sure coaches are well matched to staff to actually develop their abilities and work. Stop obsessing over how much extra time employees are putting in, and start valuing employees who can get all their work done well without putting in extra hours.

Pros

Working at NFA is a great experience. We maintain a work/life balance like you wouldn't believe and work in a very diverse environment. Coming in as a new hire you will have an extensive period of training, and if you ever need help, you can ask anyone in the office without a problem.,
