Pros

Fraternal type of enviornment with a emphasis on hard work. At times, long hours and not much emphasis on facetime.

Cons

Could use some more structure but as the cmopany has a start-up type of feel, this is expected. Management is working rapidly to put in the necessary structure.

Pros

The company is growing like a bat out of hell (i.e., 2008) -- though it actually avoided that carnage. Jefferies is growing in the U.S. and is now expanding aggressively into Europe and Asia. While some managers are merely competent, the better ones are sound, practical and run the company.

Cons

Things are happening almost too fast which ample opportunity for poor execution and operational error....so hold on tight.
