Pros

Training for investment advising good work environment fast recognition and praise for performance

Cons

Medical benefits terrible- very high deductible low commission payout during entire phase of career low compensation compared to similar firms make a decision to leave, and they turn on you like a wild dog very political, need to take over existing office to have good shot at making grade first year I was a very good performer by their metrics, and still was let go due to politics lip service that they do what's best for the client, but the advising process and product offerings do not reflect that

Pros

They have allowed the HBA’s (home based associates) to remain remote

Cons

Micromanagers, they say they are okay if you want to apply to another department within the firm but the minute you do it’s like you get a target on your back. The pay doesn’t match the workload and the word is that you have to quit and then come back to make what you should already be getting paid. Benefits are terrible but 401k is pretty good
