Pros

Very smart workers who have decades of experience trading on the floor of the CBOE. You will learn an immense amount about trading from the very best and brightest in the business. Casual clothing, very entrepreneurial and friendly environment. Amazing lunch is provided each day and free transportation to and from work is another great perk.

Cons

It is a small office that is not trying to expand quickly, so finding an "in" is very difficult unless you transfer from another TD office or are related to someone working there.

Pros

Teaching and coaching others on a wide range of investment topics forces a lot of learning. This learning is reinforced by trading yourself on a monthly basis or more frequently. The topics covered ranged from a superficial look fundamental analysis to an in-depth look at technical analysis. Advanced certifications such as CMT chartered market technician or CFA chartered financial analyst were encouraged and you were reimbursed for the cost of obtaining such designations. Knowing where to find and how to use information found on the internet was also required and continues to be a very useful skill. One final benefit you can in contact with a lot of co-workers with whom you could form a strong network.

Cons

Shrinking industry, limited upside, low quality of upper management.
