Pros

Free lunch once a quarter. Short commute.

Cons

Ancient technology - outdated computers, phones, etc. VERY expensive employee-paid benefits compared to competitors. They preach work/life balance but it does not exist. Old-school approach and attitude geared towards the 50+ age employee. Discriminatory in many of its practices. EEOC has been advised.

Pros

-Lots of flexibility with work autonomy -Don't need prior experience or licenses to become an FA

Cons

-If starting new, with no AUM or clients, you will most likely fail -Favoritism for certain FAs and you may end up getting the short end of the stick -Full of promises of great office near where you live and an assistant, reality is you may end up 40minutes away from your home with a useless assistant. -Performance standards are similar whether you were given a few million in assets or 0 and may be difficult to reach -You will be making close to minimum wage

Pros

Very friendly company, based in St Louis. The company is consistently rated as one of the best places to work. Hires and promotes a lot of women in their operations departments

Cons

Salaries are low for back-office employees. Software and legacy systems are far behind the industry. Overall, you could say the company is technologically challenged.
