Pros

1. Great first job out of school that becomes one you'll want to prolong into a career. 2. You're surrounded by like-minded smart, driven people with a witty sense of humor. 3. Healthy and happy culture, readily accessible resources (flat organization structure), emphasis on teamwork/collaboration. 4. You're not tied to work on the weekends/outside of working hours.

Cons

Can be a high pressure environment, but that's to be expected on a trading desk.

Pros

Stable work life balance. The culture is really great, very easy to work with complex management and managers. Willing to help you grow and learn with clients

Cons

Not a lot of room for growth unless you come in the door with that expectation. It can be very easy to get stuck in this role as your pay slowly increases and the job title mostly stays the same. Associate promotions and raises are rarely given and take a lot of coercion to get.
