Pros

Good pension plans If you're part of the inner circle, its a cushy job Location

Cons

If you're just starting your career, FINRA may be a good place to learn. They have good training programs and generally take good care of their employees. If you're an experienced professional, stay out. High levels of micromanagement Backstabbing galore Limited career opportunities No work from home policies Prima donna middle managers are out of touch with technology or people management Distrust, low morale, every person for themselves Most teams are waterfall, the Agile ones are at best Rupperfall People are treated like disposable resources
