Pros

Insurance is great, but has extremely high deductibles. Work life balance if you work well with the financial advisor you onboard with. Tuition reimbursement, but you have to pay it back if you leave the company within a certain amount of time after you graduate.

Cons

One of the best and worst companies I've worked for simultaneously. If you are a Financial Advisor, the company kisses the ground you walk on. They get trips to other countries on the companies dime, huge bonuses and commissions, and many other incentives. Not so much for the BOA's. We are offered tuition reimbursement to get a BA or MA but then you owe a certain amount of time to the company or you pay it all back. And don't think you get a raise when you get that degree, because that has no bearing on your wage. As a BOA there is the possibility to have great bonuses, ONLY if your financial advisor is highly successful AND wants to share. There is no upwards momentum for a BOA other than to become an advisor themselves.

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.
