Rating Greatly Depends on the Financial Advisor

Pros

The company is managed and runs surprisingly smooth for such a large firm. There is autonomy depending on your Financial Advisor (FA) A great opportunity to learn and saturate your mind with an enormous amount of educational tools . Establish a good working relationship with your FA and your team will benefit both financially and successfully within the company.

Cons

Your opportunities and enjoyment of the position is directly tied to your FA. THe company has guidelines and expectations, but each branch, basically has two employees the BOA and the FA. If you are a gregarious person and love being around different types of people all day, this IS NOT the position for you. You will have phone work and can talk to people, but personal interaction is not the usual. Also, if you get along with your FA you are a lot better off than if you do not. It is just the two of you all day, every day. The FA is also your supervisor, they administer your wage increase, approve you vacation and are ultimately in charge of your training. They are also your means to any increases or perks within the company.

Pros

It was nice to have the flexibility and the opportunity for high commissions being new to the work force. Good training

Cons

No support at all. Basically thrown into an office (if you get an office) and told to go door to door. I worked in Chicago where people are not at all receptive to door to door. Was given no other support for other ideas. Forced to sell high fee mutual funds in order to stay afloat
