Never heard of them.

I was a finance/computer programming double major in college. I was faced with the decision of going to a financial services company as a broker/salesperson or going to an IT shop and becoming a code monkey.

I chose code monkey.

I'm not familiar witht this specific company, but the general model in these operations that they have a high turnover rate. They recruit dozens (if not hundreds) of college graduates every year. They are put to work in a high-pressure sales environment. Compensation is generally 100% commission and most people quit in their first year. If you can persevere for 3-5 years and build a book of business, you stand to make a LOT of money.

I'm not bashing this type of operation, it just wasn't for me.
