Pluspunten

It has a nice office space within a nice building. One feels informed within the atmosphere due to the constant live Bloomberg stream. Small boutique atmosphere. Other brokers are willing to help you with your cold calling skills

Minpunten

Initially broker's have to work insanely long hours (13 hours per day) for less than minimum wage, forced to use overly aggressive sales tactics with absolutely no autonomy or deviation from the cold calling script. Job is 100% cold calling and nothing else. Questions are discouraged and any question in regards to finance or as to why you are pitching a certain stock, or why you are pitching in a certain way is frowned upon. The senior brokers are all immature and have fun picking on new brokers while staying in the office for about 4 hours while new brokers work through the nights. The job is tedious, repetitive, boring, and stressful.

Pluspunten

Easy interview process. Easy job to land for recent college grad. Will sponsor you for 7 & 63. Will allow you to retake if failed. Friendly recuriter. Located in a nice building (EAB PLAZA).

Minpunten

Little kids playing Wall St. are so hard to be taken seriously. You feel the lack of professionalism as soon as you enter the office. The "senior brokers" in the cubes are no older than 22 yrs old but act like they're 13, and snicker and insult new hires. They try so hard to seem cool with their cheap flashy clothes... even a hot dog vendor on wall st. would laugh at em. No sales training. No financial training. High pressure sales tactics. 500+ dials a day, 6 days/week. 13 hour days. TERRIBLE, OUTDATED LEADS! (D&B cards) No leadership. Zero management... New kid worked there 4 months, and had no idea what the commission structure was like (goes to show u the level of person they would hire and the lack of training.
