Business outlook
Pros
Nice Trips, office was sunny, they put up a new sign when the old one got worn out, they paid to have the carpet cleaned every year
Cons
Limited product offerings, firm pressures advisors to take on regional and recruiting efforts with no compensation, they own the client book, poor benefits package, low payouts, unrealistic expense caps, compliance/field supervision is repressive, management does not tolerate individual thinking. Family/work balance for them is 70 hours/6daysof work. Survey for "Best Place to Work" is orchestrated. To leave the firm without legal entanglements you must retire or die. Firm does not provide any support for local communities.
