Incompetent upper management.

Pros

Laid back culture in terms of dress, and can learn many different aspects of the business outside of your stated department.

Cons

Run by arrogant, greedy, incompetent managers, with no concept of how to operate a business without trying to cut all corners. Unless you are a productive trader, work-life balance is non-existent. If you are in the US, you will face a never ending uphill battle to get anything productive accomplished. In the back office, you will always be paid less than the market minimum, and face constant obstacles to get the job done. They will lie to you about bonuses just to hire, and will always look for a reason not to give raises, and not honor contracts.

Pros

Casual dress every day and you will not find better insurance benefits for yourself and all dependents.

Cons

No raises so try to negotiate as much salary as possible up front without the expectation it will increase more in the next couple years. Do not count on a bonus either unless you are in the front office. During my time at Mercuria I saw many people laid off without a clear indication as to why, and some of those were with the company a year or less. Also, it is almost unheard of for people to move around departments so expect to spend 3 or so years in the role you initially accept. As for work-life balance, this really depends on which department you are in, but don't count on it. Many people work weekends and late nights. Even after working 80+ hour work weeks, and being a high contributor to your department, do not expect to be compensated for that performance in the form of a bonus.
