Pros

Futures and Options is a well-intentioned organization, but extremely misguided in their messaging and representation (just take a look at the photos/bios of the staff and board of directors on their website).

Cons

Futures and Options has to deal with a massive white savior industrial complex issue (throwing money at things doesn't fix anything). As stated in the pros, the org is well-intentioned, however their definition of "role model" is anachronistic. There was a sheet on how to dress when you show up to an interview that was titled something along the lines of "what to wear as a lady and a gentleman". The strict gender norms and racial norms is holding back the creativity and expression that these kids have and should use. Their frame of how to be a successful adult falls strictly within the outline of Wall Street. If that's you, go for it! But know that you aren't solving any issues, rather putting a band-aid on (and continuing) the blatant sexism, racism, and homophobia that exists in corporate America.
