Pros
Good benefit package, branch bankers are focused on providing good customer service despite very high turnover of staff (most seem to leave within 1-3 years)
Cons
Low pay in exchange for what is sold as a great working environment while interviewing; the real working environment is extremely controlling- advisors aren't allowed keys to the branches they work in (but are trusted with investing client funds), expected to work 6 days a week, required to use personal cel phones to communicate with management and coworkers so nothing is tracked on email. Training is just about product pushing- no concern about the clients overall needs and no consideration professional growth. If you inquire about other options that may benefit a client the response is basically "stay in your own lane, not your job). Management just wants advisor to sit in a branch 8:30- 6:00, M-Sat and hope business walks in the door. Unprofessional all the way around. I'm looking for my next job
