Pros

Culture, In ten years i have never had a "case of the Mondays" we have very little turn over, we work together across divisions to get it done.
Online Trading Academy Encourages and reward out of the box thinking.
Great work life balance.

It is a company where you can grow, i started almost 10 years ago fairly entry level I worked hard and have been mentored by a few executives here.
About 5 years ago I was promoted to Director,and this summer was made a V.P.
The mentoring and guidance at Online Trading Academy helps you take you to a whole new level

Pros

Most positive work environment and culture I’ve ever been a part of.
I’ve worked in the Corporate world for many years and Online Trading Academy is a truly unique and inspiring company to work for. I’ve never been a part of anything like it.
At Online Trading Academy the focus is all on the students. This is truly education that can change lives. The environment in the Brooklyn & LI locations is unparalleled. There is great teamwork between everyone and it is an encouraging, collaborative atmosphere. Everyone is here for the same common goal of student success, along with our success. You will not find another company with a more loving culture than OTA. OTA is a family and the best decision I ever made.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you are doing. After attending our Annual International Conference last week in CA, I am so fired up for everything to come and where OTA is going. What a time to be at OTA!!

Pros

Definitely a great culture - everyone truly cares about each other and the success of the students.

Pros

Working in the Brooklyn/Long Island center has been more than I could have ever imagined. My role is extremely fulfilling. I assist our students in changing their financial lives for the better. I look forward to coming in every day and making a difference.

The environment at our center is the most positive and supportive that I have ever been associated. Everybody works in tandem, wilfully encouraging and helping each other. This teamwork is what makes this center so special.

Management nurtures the team members which releases our full abilities and potential. New ideas are encouraged and recognized and management loves nothing more than promoting from within. I believe in today's corporate world, this level of positivity is rare and I am so grateful to be a part of this team at the Brooklyn/Long Island center.

Advice to Management

Keep up the support and we will always give you our best.

Pros

Training is free. Decent Saturday lunches.

Pros

If considering employment in Long Island, the “awful”-review is legit. The five star review that followed though is most likely contributed by Marketing Team to counteract the valid negative review. Company covers for Franchises’ weaknesses with fake praise rather than holding Franchise Owners to proper standards.

Advice to Management

To HQ- Disenfranchise your franchises so employees get real story and they can walk in employment aware and not conned. Get more business minded people to run businesses of your franchises. I talk to some people in other cities and no one gets why you people would show us a shiny new car when we leave training to go back to clunkers.

To Management- Do homework. Keep trying at least.

Pros

Positive culture where management really cares about the success of employees. Plenty of opportunities to get involved with strategic initiatives.
Great teamwork environment and very little territorial nonsense. Lots of opportunities for growth.

Advice to Management

Keep up the great work!

Pros

After more than 25 years of working in cultures, internal competition, silos, territories, divergent goals...I found OTA. Rather, they found me. You will not find another company with more loving people. Driven and innovative environment. Hard, but purposeful work. Students success is #1 with amazing team work and great franchisees. The daily catering and monthly car washes are a nice plus.

This company is on fire! Great time to get in.

Advice to Management

We can do a better job with long-term career pathing.

Pros

• Great company culture
• Terrific team members
• Robust budgets and support
• Fabulous content
• Exceptional value proposition and industry
• Tons of terrific food
• Solid benefit package and compensation

Advice to Management

Stay the course! The talent is great and we're enabled to both do our jobs and advance, both personally and as a company. Improved benefits would be a plus, but aren't necessary given the generous compensation.

Pros

The culture of this organization is amazing, best of any company I have ever worked for. Also, innovation is encouraged - Embraces change

Advice to Management

Continue clear communication to teams. Continue to look beyond trading to other financial education services
