Pros

If you want to learn to actively manage money than there's no better place to work. Merged with TD Ameritrade. They seem to be heading in the right direction.

Cons

The merger obviously spawned change both good and bad, but is too slow for my tastes. Still need to weed out some of previous management. Most EC's believe the opportunity to sell the education is dwindling and will eventually disappear.

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.
