Pros
I started at LOYAL3 a couple years ago when it was still a small company with a big idea: to make the stock market accessible to millions of more people by removing transaction fees and making buying and selling "frictionless." The idea was to focus on companies with brand names that the investors liked and supported and to use ownership as a way to build loyalty to these companies. Since then, the vision has expanded to include IPOs, something that very few people had ever had access to at the same price as Wall St. Every employee shares this vision, making it a great place to work. It is now common to get career advice to work at a company where you are passionate about what you do every day. That is what we have at LOYAL3: a team-oriented group that believes passionately in what we do. It's why I'm still working here even though I had originally planned to work here only a year or so (due to my long commute). I get up everyday excited about what I do.
Kontras
Big ideas sometimes take a little longer to achieve than originally planned. But our development of the IPO business was a smart move, even though it has extended our "start-up" time period. Lots of work to do every day, so not the place to join if you are the 9-5 type.
