Pros

This is a very conservative company in a very conservative industry. If you like it you are in right place.

Cons

Products and technology are obsolete. No innovation. Usually things are 5-10 years behind industry standard. Some departments have very high turnover, like 100% in 2 years.

Pros

Incredibly nice people. Everyone is always extremely helpful and courteous. Periodically lots of small employee appreciation activities such as catered lunches. Easy to request PTO and lots of holidays. Paid full day off on your birthday, for example.

Cons

Limited upward mobility. There were ideas and some plans for a program that would allow current employees to make the transition to advisors, but did not look too promising.

Pros

Clean water. Free snacks. There is still some passion left.

Cons

This company once upon a time was way ahead of the curve but like all good things it's glory days are coming to an end. This company will be remembered in the annals of corporate America as a great example of reverse takeover. The Mutual Fund store execs run this company now. No technology direction, no product direction, no marketing direction. Their growth strategy is to fire everyone and simply hire a bunch of advisors (check the careers section page). Funny story, advisors are actually the most miserable bunch who are asked to get on the phone and cold call people for their money instead of helping everyday Americans retire better. Competition is eating their lunch, employees are overworked but their feedback is never listened to, no career growth, managers are clueless and the company is cutting cost (and corners) in every way they can . There is backstabbing and politics all around. Telltale signs of people trying to survive on a sinking ship.
