Pros

Health benefits are good but very expensive. Over $600 a month for premiums

Cons

Only previous Advisors from Fidelity and Ameritrade are welcome for the most part for planner positions. The only satisfied employees are senior management and some planners that got in before they over hired this last year. They laid off an entire sales department without notice on 2/1/17. There were 2 out of 11 employees who got to take other positions and were demoted even when they are hiring for planners and other similar positions in the firm. Unless you are a planner you are expendable. Ric Edelman talks a big talk on the radio but doesn't implement his advice to his own company. They cut the 401k match in half from 6 to 3 percent. How can this be voted the best place to work by the Washington Post? The markets have more than recovered but the company has no loyalty to its current employees.

Pros

Compensation is the only positive, they make it hard to leave because you are paid well, if you can stand it.

Cons

No autonomy, no personality, structured and regulated beyond all imagination, every procedure is controlled and dissected. Not normal and very stressful. CSA'S have way too much responsibility while the planners do very little.
