You get what you put in!

Pros

They were always great with ensuring I had everything I needed. Response times were quick with any questions or issues that arose. I had more than enough leverage to trade. As others have mentioned, the freedom existed to trade my own strategies.

Cons

As a remote trader, there are often times were you feel a disconnect. While consent communication via morning calls and e-mails does exist, it's not the same as engaging face - to - face with someone.

Pros

Provide you with plenty of leverage and freedom to do what you want. Can test your own ideas and managers are very approachable.

Need to know its a prop firm so your salary is what you make.

You are their business model

Pros

Access to capital. You can get leveraged 10-20 times

Cons

Good ol Vegas boys taking you for a ride. YOU are their business model, risky behavior encouraged (despite initial speeches about the importance of risk management) because you’re paying commissions, which overtime will significantly eat out of your return. (I.e make Bright tons of money) Most, and by that I mean at least 9 out of 10 new traders won’t make it, but they don’t really care because they can get another cohort of fools whom they can lure with “modern strategies”. If you absolutely know what you’re doing, by that I mean a proven track record with real money and you need leverage- it is for you, otherwise do yourself a favor and buy an index fund.
