RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at National Futures Association full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
The work-life balance is off the chart; the benefits are exceptional; and the culture is one of a kind.
Cons
Resources could be limited given the non-profit nature of the association, but it is a small price to pay for a good environment.
Advice to Management
Hiring external applicants when qualified internal resources are available could be a turn off for current employees.

NFA offers incredible growth opportunity and a great work-life balance. NFA is a place where hard work gets rewarded, and the experience makes you highly marketable in the industry. The benefits package and 401k contribution is also very good.
