Junior Broker - Anonymous employee MB Capital Employee Review

Opportunities to progress quickly, true meritocracy and pushed to take industry exams if you want to progress to an advisory stockbroking role. Been here 15 months and have progressed from a junior role to account manager. One exam away from being an FCA registered financial adviser.

Hard work at the start, you are essentially taking the job at the bottom but you can't expect to walk into the top with no experience. As it is FCA regulated, initial calls are very scripted as the have to be within certain regulations, which for me gave some direction when coming into the role with no experience.

Hard working environment. Lots of experience within the company that I have been able to learn from. They seem to have the right attitude with how they want go grow the business and have a vision of where they want to take it. A lot more ethical and professional than a previous broker I worked for. It's also good it's a family company as there is definitely a strong camaraderie amongst the staff.

It's long hours sometimes and can be stressful. This is more to do with the role not the company though. There are also very high standards set for employees which means a lot of them fall away or give up when it gets hard.
