Vantaggi
-good name in options trading -friendly, laid-back employees for the most part -fun work environment (people tell jokes to reduce stress) -senior management doesn't act any differently than other employees
Svantaggi
-management on the ops side rules by fear and places too much emphasis in appearing constructive and calm where conversations can be recorded (email, instant message, etc.) and not enough on verbal conversations where excessive yelling is commonplace -training program has a 10-20% retention rate, which is extraordinarily low for an established prop firm and speaks to the quality of the teaching -Look for strange qualities in their clerks, including laziness (management would rather tell someone to do something than that person taking the initiative), getting frazzled for making mistakes and when things are hectic (I got yelled at multiple times for being too calm), not asking questions (the trainees who asked the most questions got yelled at the most) -company trades very specific product in a very specific way, this lack of diversification will ultimately be there downfall and a reason why the company has reduced its headcount by over 50% in the last couple years
