Pros

Get to work closely with clients. Access to own office and assistant in a relatively quick amount of time.

Cons

Office environment can become solitary after time. Too much red tape because of the paranoia of not having branch managers.

Pros

Great core values. Investment platform and resources are top notch. Great support group. Training and development are terrific. A lot of quality people that work for the company. Compensation is great once you find your niche and start producing.

Cons

Very old school approach at growing your business. If you are not provided an office with assets, you will have a tough time keeping on board with their door knocking and cold calling approach to growing your business. You are often times on an island by yourself with your own thoughts. Stringent standards you must meet or else you will be terminated.
