      Good company, though the early years are lean.

      Pros

      Reputable firm, good people, very client-oriented, sound financial products, decent training, excellent benefits, generous paid time off policy, lay-offs are extremely rare.

      Cons

      As a branch office administrator (BOA), the base pay is quite low for the amount of responsibility involved. Some branch teams earn bonuses, and if you're hired into a top-producing branch, it may not matter about the base pay. But if you work for a lower-producer, it can be a struggle. Many BOAs that I know must work a second job to make ends meet. Other than the pay, the only negative for some people is relative isolation. Most branches are just two people: a Financial Advisor and a BOA. It suits me all right, but I'm sure it wouldn't be ideal for other personality types.

      Worst Job I've Ever Had

      Pros

      The "status" of the company's name. That's all I've got.

      Cons

      Perpetual meetings, too many projects to handle effectively, ill-equipped, "mean girl" female manager who played favorites, substandard pay, after hours work expected with no compensation, a CTO who was making millions while the grunts did all the heavy lifting. Leaving there was one of the happiest days of my life.

      Pros

      Great company with good benefits. You have support all the way around.

      Cons

      Very lonely position. At times there is nothing to do but sit and it is very hard on your back. There is no one in the office for you to talk to. You can be friendly to the clients, but it is all business. Interview your FA well. I would NOT recommend coming on-board with a new FA when you’re new. They are so focus on money that you get lost and reprimanded for things you didn’t know you were supposed to do. "I don’t know what you don’t tell me". The FAs are fighting to keep or get business in this economy and they are VERY stressed and pass that on to their BOAs. Also, only take this position if you must have a job, don’t take this position if you have a degree, it is a waste of your talent and education and you will be so disappointed.
