I did some more research on them and found out they were a day-trading firm. They are prop traders. Do you think this would be a good place to start if I’m looking to become a stockbroker/FA? Maybe just to get my feet in the door. Would firms like Merrill Lynch or Morgan Stanleylook for that on a resume?

…no

Is there a reason for that. “no” isnt very helpful.

Starting at a firm like that will make it harder to get hired at a Major Wirehouse

See the movie Boiler Room.

I’ve seen boiler room. Its completely different. I don’t understand why its not good to work at a place like this. It seems like a good experience and a good start to a stockbroker career. 

If all you want to become is a very busy order taker, it’s fine.  If you want to learn about managing someone’s investment portfolio, a day-trading firm is a very shitty place to do that.  Real money-making daytraders are far more rare than you can imagine.  99 times out of 100, a good long-term strategy will run rings around a day-trader.

Why are you asking for our opinion if you already have all the answers figured out?
