Pros

The only pro would be the fact that you're working for a NYSE listed company with an inflated title, it definitely looks good on the resume.

Cons

The worst company I have ever worked for in financial services. The environment is extremely toxic and can really set you back career wise. Senior mangement have no idea what is happening on a ground level and continue to ignore fundamental problems that are weighing on growth. The company is rampant with money hungry and uneducated executives, who have no idea how to grow the business. There is very little accountability, and management do not hesitate to let you know that you are expendable. Salary is below market rate and from a sale perspective there is no support from the marketing division. The company looks for yes men mentality and will not hesitate to fire employees who challenge the status quo. Company is not big on innovation and much rather stick to its burn and churn approach to sales, rather than long term client service and retention. I will not be surprised to see company fail in the next 5-10 years. Compliance practices are boarder line and very questionable! Seems like executives are here for a laugh and high compensation.

Pros

A lot of mobility within the company. Employees could get their foot in the door through customer service and work their way up to a director position in the marketing department

Cons

Some positions were outsourced. The FOREX industry itself is not well established in the US and market conditions could mean drastic downsizing. This took place 3 times while I worked there.
