Pros

Great training and every time I called the home office there was someone to help me.

Cons

The FA makes it or breaks it. My FA was rarely in the office and I was expected to make all the sales calls. I was told this was not a sales job but that is what I did. If you can find a FA that you can work with as a team I think it would be a good job. The pay is very low for the work you do and the raises are also very low. A $0.35/hour raise is not going to increase your standard of living. The FA gets all the credit and the BOA does all the work. You are a glorified secretary for your BOA. It is very lonely if your office is not a storefront.

Pros

- Decent benefits programs. - Teammates who cared about the quality of work they provided and the people they worked with. - Direct superiors who were people of integrity that I respect immensely and wish nothing but the best for.

Cons

- Recent removal of remote work for all associates regardless of how long they had worked remotely previously (13 years in my case). This push to onsite work will damage long term profitability and likely cause a mass exodus of talented associates (if it has not already). - Massive amount of offshore outsourcing that has greatly reduced the quality of work at the home office. - Lack of flexibility regarding work schedules that has severely damaged work-life balance.
