Pros
Decent trading platform gives business stability in a cyclical market Strong research department places business firmly amongst top four in UK small/mid cap brokers, possibly top three
Cons
Tends to be run for the benefit of an inner circle. Extremely aggressive with people who leave in terms of bonus claw back, non-competes, other restrictive covenants etc. Will resort to legal action against leavers for more quickly than majority of peers. Leads to a sense of being a gilded cage, where people want to leave but can't afford to, which can create an unhealthy mood of disgruntlement
