      Pros

      None at all- a true boiler room.

      Cons

      This is the WORST company I have ever worked for. There is no upside- you will be expected to work in slave-like conditions and not be rewarded for it. The blame culture in the nyc office (200 Park) is prevalent- every meeting starts with "who did this, give me a name" so all the good people who really cared about getting it right are gone or pushed out. Even after the recent scandals in the Wealth division, and the new fake "values" being rolled out, NOTHING has changed. The same managers that were hired by all those fired are still there and running the business- unbelievable. Cronyism is rewarded, not merit. Rules and regulations are non-existent, and fraud is rampant.

      Pros

      Workload is manageable they don’t put too much on you. Hybrid you come into office once a week.

      Cons

      Some managers are nice some are not and if you have a manager who doesn’t like you it will make the job stressful. If you get a zero for QA part of your bonus will be gone and if you get 3 within a 7 month period you will have to come into office 3 days a week and be on a final and will not get a bonus, bonuses could be higher in my opinion, if your not a good collector they could be as low as $500-$700 every 3 months if your a decent collector they could be $1500 every 3 months if your a good collector they could be $2250-$3375 every 3 months but the base pay isn’t high enough either it’s 50k to 56k all around just not enough money
