Online Trading Academy Reviews

Pros

I have worked in education, fortune 100, and non-profit organizations. I highly value being surrounded by smart people who challenge me to grow. I love disrupting and feeling supported when my bets don’t pay off. I love knowing that what I do matters. I love that this is the culture I experience everyday at OTA!

Cons

Nothing that could be categorized as a con.

Pros

high commission, easy tasks. Each franchise is owned by individuals, so if you meet a good owner, you're in luck.

Cons

management. overly competitive. high turnover.

Pros

Innovative but sometimes overreaching products

Cons

Overpriced product that is sold to too many who cant afford it

Pros

What I love about Online Trading Academy is the genuine love they have for their employees and students. It is a fast paced environment where people are able to grow and are encouraged to bring their talents to the table. The culture flows from the top and is evident in all they do.

Cons

There aren't too many down sides. The company is willing to take risks and try new things! If you're used to a subdued, slow moving organization, this wouldn't be a good fit. The team work makes it all possible.

Advice to Management

The benefits are great in so many ways, health/dental/vision obviously, Compensation for gym memberships, amazing breakfast and lunch options daily. Loving people to work with, my advise to management would be to keep on doing what you do :)

Pros

Free Food, meeting great people (i.e. the students)

Cons

Horrible culture, as stated in other reviews "bag em and tag em" in sales as long as someone has credit. Support staff in the office is not respected (Student Support, Operations, Admin). Right from the very top "they have no value in the sales process" so you can never get a raise. 3 years and on opportunity for even a cost of living increase.

Advice to Management

Treat your employees better and stop saying you have a great culture and actually embrace it.

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...

Cons

AT HQ they serve lunch every day and i have gained a few lbs. so yea no cons from me, I love it here.

Pros

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

Cons

The company has grown a lot quickly which creates growing pains.

Pros

Training is free. Decent Saturday lunches.

Cons

Work at least 3 weekends a month. Mostly phone work with some interaction with clients. Pure sales. Bang em and tag em. Doesn't matter if they can absorb the info as long as their credit is good and then can pay the $25,000 up to $50,000.00 payment. Location is on its 3rd management team. Since my time there they have gone through multiple managers and personnel. High turnover.
