I'm looking to get my foot in the door in the stock broking business, and have stumbled across a job application from John Thomas Financial, which is apparently located on Wall Street. They say they will except anyone with or without a degree, and will train and sponsor you for the necessary Series 7 exam/license. I was wondering if any of you local New Yorkers here on CD have any dirt on the place. If there's something I should know about any shady practices, or chop-shop type management. Also, while were on the subject, if anyone knows of any independent, or mainstream, brokerage firms that they reccomend, particularly with a lenient acceptance rate, please feel free to let me know.

I'm born n raised in Chicago, and currently been living down in this hell hole called New Orleans for the past 3 months. I hate the south with a burning passion and am looking to get back up north, particularly to NYC, because of the plentiful number brokerage/economic jobs around and available (and opportunities to better yourself- something unheard of in the south), and I have a few friends there as well to help ease the whole process.

Thanks alot for your time. Appreciate it.

If you go to the interview do not tell them you have any business ethics. We at JTF are doing whatever it takes to make a quick buck. Customers are not the priority
