Good blog and marketing but they are a CHOP SHOP.
They advertise/list 'jobs' and after the interview they inform you:
1. There is no salary. No exceptions.
2. YOU (the employee) have to pay $10,500 to 'cover training costs'. What a joke.
IF YOU HAVE TO PAY TO DO IT, IT IS NOT A JOB. IT IS A SCHOOL.
They take hardworking students, just out of college and needing a job, and charge them thousands of dollars only to see less than one in three stay for more than a year. It is a chop shop without a doubt.
Sure they may have some successful traders (in an interview Bellafiore said there are only 50 traders) but I bet you they get dozens of new students coming through every year. If each of these pay 5000 - 10000 for 'training costs' it means SMB is grossing six figures just by ripping off their new 'employees', most of whom are fired with no chance of getting back the thousands of dollars they put up.
SMB should be banned from Stocktwits. They advertise very well to make it seem like a place of employment but really they're just exploiting Twitter/Stocktwits by offering some very plain advice on their blog and milking the publicity to attract more students to rip off.
