Business Outlook

Pros

Bonus is directly tied to business goals. During a good year, bonus can be over-achieved.

Cons

This particular business unit and location within Nasdaq is extremely disorganized and contentious. Everyone is out for themselves. Not a team environment. Management ignores formal complaints of employees and shows little respect or gratitude for staff. Low morale. understaffed, overwhelming workload. The physical environment of MarketSite is horrible - no windows, no privacy. Generally, the staff show a lack of respect and lack of professionalism shown to colleagues.
