Pros

FINRA's mission to protect investors and maintain integrity of the market. A lot of the people who work there love their job they do. They have the best intentions and approach their work professionally.

Cons

Unfortunately, for too many, once they get into the higher management positions it becomes more about power and maintaining that than encouraging others to reach their potential. There's a lot of self promotion and promotion of friends to support the power base.
