Pros

Bolstered my ability in sales. Lower level management is very hands-on with their employees and knowledgeable about the FX market. They will work closely with you to develop your weaknesses and turn them into strengths. Overall, I think everyone here truly believes in this company and its ability to grow and outperform its competitors.

Cons

Increasing workload, while significantly decreasing employee compensation is not a recipe for success. It became very clear during my time with the company that the CEO's primary concern is the majority shareholders' stock price increasing, and has absolutely no regard for the bottom line employees not already vested in the company. While there were some highly talented and very committed employees in this company when I first started, they, as well as I, have all now left due to the above mentioned reason. This is quite disconcerting. Low growth opportunity due to an over saturated upper management team is not very motivating. Lastly, the company's culture needs a defibrillator, it has flat lined.
