Pros

Some nice colleagues but little else

Cons

Too many middle and senior managers out only for themselves. If you are in the "right crowd" and say the "right" things at the "right" times then you might might be a "favoured" one. The company has got too large and the top-heavy management team along with the the vast amount of middle managers have completely lost their way and core-values. The addiction to growth and shareholder value totally outweighs everything else to its detriment. A revolving door of staff on many sides of the business, demonstrates the severe levels of dissatisfaction and stress within the company. Instead of working on core trading and broking, too much time is required to spend on computer input which is "needed" for the every increasing back-office analysis teams.

When we hire managers at WFS, we pride ourselves on selecting individuals with leadership qualities that we believe will help operations run smoothly. We’re disappointed to learn that this was not your experience while with us. Your feedback is essential and sincerely appreciate your taking the time to share this information in detail.

Pros

Absolutely nothing unless you like working for a company that is frequently the subject of law suits.

Cons

No upward mobility, gross incompetence in the executive suite, misrepresentation regarding your actual job description. Be aware of the bait and switch. They will tell you that you are being hired for one role, and then 4 weeks later will mysteriously have an emergency that they need you to take care of. Those in the company who "know where the bodies are buried" will be protected and promoted over the employees who are actually productive. Frequent executive junkets while middle managers suffer from budget cuts. Just stay away.
