Pros
1. Having a NYSE listed title on your resume (given the company is still solvent or hasn't been indicted) 2. Using your time in organisation as a case study for your PhD in Organisational Behaviour.
Cons
There are bad/dysfunctional companies, flawed or impaired in making right decisions - and then there's GAIN Capital. What surprised me the most is, despite having reasonable IQ of being able to perform innate functions like; wearing a shirt, getting dressed and combing your hair, key position holders in the company continuously fail to demonstrate any competence beyond this while voicing their 'expert opinions' on matters crucial to commercial success of an organisation. Key position holders are burdened by the arduous task of pretending to work and looking out for you, because it is unfairly constituted in their employment contracts. If I was to recreate employee reactions every time the company embarks on its semi-annual 'lets trim some fat' ceremony then please do not hesitate to search "windows 95 launch dance" in youtube for your viewing pleasure (link not provided as guidelines prohibit URL use in reviews)
