Vantaggi
I worked at Strive for 3 years and I truly enjoyed my time there. Great people. The Strive Chicago office works hard, but the managing partners do a great job of making sure it is an enjoyable atmosphere. The industry is naturally stressful as a broker, but the mood is kept light and playful from the management on down. Managers and upper management are very accessible and hands on. One of the partners will not hesitate to help in any situation and will often get right into the weeds with anyone who asks for help or an assist on a call.
Svantaggi
commission structure - Not Strive as much as an industry standard, it can take a while to see meaningful commission checks. If you find the right type of customers that pay on time, it helps a great deal. That said, the base is fair for the industry.
