You are their business model

Pros

Access to capital. You can get leveraged 10-20 times

Cons

Good ol Vegas boys taking you for a ride. YOU are their business model, risky behavior encouraged (despite initial speeches about the importance of risk management) because you’re paying commissions, which overtime will significantly eat out of your return. (I.e make Bright tons of money) Most, and by that I mean at least 9 out of 10 new traders won’t make it, but they don’t really care because they can get another cohort of fools whom they can lure with “modern strategies”. If you absolutely know what you’re doing, by that I mean a proven track record with real money and you need leverage- it is for you, otherwise do yourself a favor and buy an index fund.

No guarantee of success, no salary.

Pros

You can make a lot of money if you get something going. They teach you many strategies that can work if you have the discipline and psychological ability to implement it.

Cons

There's no guarantee of success as in any trading business. The costs if you don't success are expensive. Considering the investment of your time and energy and the potential loss of your capital, I would do this only if you are willing to dedicate your life to it.

Pros

Access to capital well beyond your own. At least 10 times what you put up. Your capital is exposed first -which is typical.

Cons

Office culture not as described. More secretive than it should be. New people left to fend for themselves. Supposedly advanced trading techniques are actually dated. Extra training costs you more $
