Pros

Flexible working times; friendly colleagues (on the surface); decent compensation; smart analysts; free access to research products to aid you in your own investing.

Cons

Horrible management in marketing; threatening and hostile CMO who does not offer constructive feedback; CMO shuts himself off in office for hours at a time; does not facilitate collaborative interaction with employees; gossips; plays employees off of one another leading to interpersonal problems; does not offer constructive feedback; large ego coming from a larger company, but did not realize that the program he was a part of before being laid off from said company prior to joining Casey Research was what that large tech company does to see if their employees can softly land at another company before they get the pink slip (yet still brags about experience working at tech giants such as Facebook and Twitter); very abrasive in conversation; use of racist and foul, unprofessional language; frequently brags about personal things in his life; practices favoritism. Avoid this company like the plague if you are going to work for "A.D.". He is nice at first, but in the long-run one of the most abrasive, arrogant, and manipulative individuals I've had the displeasure of working with. Other supervisors are a pleasure to work with and from my experience are also great mentors. Company itself employs manipulative, highly political, and ethically questionable marketing tactics aimed at senior citizens who have limited income and "need to get rich" which can be bothersome to potential candidates.

Ability to work remotely provides flexibility, Work is interesting and allows for creative expression, i.e. writing articles and investment recommendations. Analysts analyze all sorts of investments, which gives broad perspective

Cons

No formal training. Learn as you go environment. Analysts cover many different industries/investment types which makes it hard to develop a specialty.

Pros

Daily interaction with some of the top minds in the junior resource sector. Access to great research and world-class investment minds.

Cons

Disproportionately hierarchical and obstructive management with little to no vision from middle managers. Don't know whether they're a research firm, a hedge fund, or a newsletter business. Trying to be all three - with mixed results and a great deal of back-house frustration.
