Pros
Opportunities to progress quickly, true meritocracy and pushed to take industry exams if you want to progress to an advisory stockbroking role. Been here 15 months and have progressed from a junior role to account manager. One exam away from being an FCA registered financial adviser.
Cons
Hard work at the start, you are essentially taking the job at the bottom but you can't expect to walk into the top with no experience. As it is FCA regulated, initial calls are very scripted as the have to be within certain regulations, which for me gave some direction when coming into the role with no experience.
