Real 6 figure salary opportunity if you are charismatic and personable on the phone. Overall fun place to work.
|
No vacation days. High turnover rate. Not a lot of benefits. You cannot be ok or average and survive at this job. You need to be a very talented sales person.

Take A Leap of Faith!
|
|
I truly believe we have the best trading educational software in the industry. Being able to learn from professional instructors while working here, beats anything you can receive from an educational institution in my opinion.
The confidence you gain from this type of job can give you confidence for anything in life. When I help someone find a solution to their financial needs, nothing feels better.
I like the culture here too as well. If you work hard you can get rewarded. It takes determination, effort, and relentlessness. If you have those traits and are coach-able you will see how many opportunities open up for you
|
Some days can be longer hours, but sometimes that's what you have to do to be successful.
I wouldn't call this a con, but this job truly isn't for everyone. It's a grind, but if you have that Mamba mentality you can/will be successful

Jump On Board If You Can!
|

This place offers the opportunity to do extremely well. If you put the work in, you'll be rewarded for it. But, the best part, in my opinion, is how much you learn about the industry and all the markets.
There is a reason this place has been around for nearly 23 years and I would highly recommend TA to anyone who has a competitive spirit and willingness to work hard.
|
Just like any job, it is not "easy". But if you commit yourself it is definitely worth it.

Great Place to Learn and Advance in More Than Sales
|
|
I have been with this company for about 5 years now. I came in with little to no sales background. The sales training I received here was awesome. Its something you are actively involved in on a day by day basis and never stops. There are very few companies out there that give you this type of sales exposure. I have learned how to adapt and adjust my pitch for a variety of different clientele and also how to maintain relationships which result in further sales. Along with that I was surrounded by all different markets, Stocks, Options, Futures, Currencies every single day. I am extremely competent on all these markets and trade many of them myself. Its a fun environment, even though you must work hard its a good group and don't feel like I am "going into work" every morning.
|
If you are lazy or aren't willing to work hard/put in extra effort sometimes this job is not for you. We occasionally will come in one Saturday a month for 2-4 hours to close some clients we cannot reach during the week.

" Don't Wait For Opportunity Create it"
|
|
I started with Trading Advantage in May of 2014, and still find work competitive, challenging and rewarding. I have worked for Morgan-Stanley, J.P. Morgan Chase and other reputable companies, in the past, but none have provided the unlimited income potential that Trading Advantage does. I especially like the competitive environment and incentives program; cash bonuses, electronics, sports tickets etc. This is a very rewarding environment if you have a desire to be successful, are willing to put in the effort to learn, and if you have a positive outlook and a winning attitude. The level of autonomy, flexibility and independence that this company provides has allowed me to achieve other goals that were important to me while having the opportunity to compete with the best.
|
At this time, there is nothing significant that comes to mind, that would prevent me from recommending Trading Advantage.

Luck of the Draw
|
|
The product is strong, and they are open to hiring people with no financial background. Compensation is there if you are a good closer.
|
Termination policy is inconsistent, especially if your new. Having a bad month at the wrong time can cost you your job, and you might receive little to no warning, verbal or written, to indicate your standing. When asked directly, management can be evasive rather than giving a direct answer. Performance reviews are almost non existent, though this may depend on the manager you are working with.
Additionally, the departments (options, futures, stocks) are not equally lucrative, as can be seen by comparing the number of sales reps in each. The larger departments (options and futures) have a higher demand, with a larger number of leads specific for there product existing in the data base. Stocks often requires an additional step in the sales process, convincing a customer that they should change there desired method of trading, but if the customer does not have between $15-$20k to trade with, there is no point in the first place.

Regardless about how you feel about specific employees, their livelihood is in your hands. At the very least, consistent performance evaluations meant to target problem areas in sales techniques and/or product knowledge would enhance relationships between management and employees, best case making the company more profitable. Also, if an employee asks about the status of their job, give them a straight answer, rather than applying more stress with the uncertainty.
