Pros

Good learning experience and great co-workers

Cons

Terrible work environment. Management constantly trying to cover their butts. Upper management use examiners until they burn them out. Upper management paid huge amounts. Examiners paid and treated poorly. Examiners top out at around $125K but Average FINRA salary $195K? Management way overpaid, there are a lot of them and they add little to the examination process except red tape.
