      Pros

      It's the financial industry so a possible entry point into the industry if that is what you are looking for.

      Cons

      Culture of fear and sexual harassment. It seems that both optionshouse and trademonster had decent cultures going into the merger but with the new management it's turned into a non-productive environment where CYA is the name of the game. I've literally seen the CIO pat a girl on the butt and tell her 'good job baby'. Will be shocked if this management team can hit the goals laid out by the investors. Oh and generally trying convince retail traders that they can make $$ trading options is disingenuous to being with. No one makes money here other than the brokerage on commissions.

      Thank you for bringing this to our attention. While any merger presents challenges to the resulting culture, what you describe is unacceptable. We have absolutely zero tolerance harassment of any kind in our office. As such, we take such allegations very seriously and react to them swiftly and appropriately when they are raised. If any employee is harassed we encourage them to come to Human Resources or their Manager so we can properly handle the situation. If an employee is not comfortable going to HR or their Manager, we also have an anonymous email system in place so employees can confidentially make suggestions or report anything. Please contact our Human Resources team if you would like to discuss any concerns, as we do take these allegations seriously. The period following the merger was difficult on both companies and all new leadership. We are applying the lessons we learned from it and are committed to ongoing enhancements. Thank you for your feedback.

      Pros

      There are no pros to working here anymore. Toxic environment flowing down from a toxic CEO.

      Cons

      What had once been a decent culture is now completely political. Insults and sexual harassment now is par for the course.

      Pros

      There are no positives to describe. Private equity absolutely ruined this company.

      Cons

      Best days are behind it. Company is now a mix of degenerate castaways from eTrade, spoiled leftovers from TradeMonster and a few solid smart folks from the old OH (owned by Peak6). The current c-level is filled with sexist alcoholics who have absolutely no interest in anyone's wellbeing, career growth or psychological health. Let's be clear: the executives at this company only care about one thing - lining their pockets. They are pathological liars. They will kick you to the curb without warning. Steer clear of this company unless they pay you 200%.
