Pros
There are no pros to working here.
Kontras
Pyramid scheme. The hours required would be better spent working as a laborer, far higher earning potential. Top few brokers making all the money placing their friends in sweetheart deals that inevitably tank. Junior brokers are taught to leverage favors, rather than supplying a superior product. They advise terrible deals to seemingly churn commissions with little to no regard for investors. (Most recent example SCPX secondary being halted and investigated by the SEC - ultimately repriced). Their reputation proceeds them on the street and in their niche investor community. Weird relationship between the head of capital markets and the CEO. Rumor has it there was blackmail involved between them. Awful culture, instructing employees to disregard their families, friends and personal life to dedicate 100% of their time to being in the office (on a minimum wage salary for one year). This mantra is echoed near verbatim weekly if not daily. all factors align with the C-suite initiatives for personal profits and overall disregard for anything that stands in the way of that. Steer clear of this firm on all fronts.. Jordan Belfort wanna-be's who give the investment banking industry in general a bad name.
