      BOA Hiring

      Pros

      The company provide great training when on-boarded. Depending on the department you are in, there is some creativity allowed - they will listen to feedback on how to make things better. Great campus and café.

      Cons

      BOA Hiring went through leadership training which resulted in process changes. Change is good when it is effective but in this case, the changes were not effective and the employees suffered through this. This created a hectic and stressful work environment and the turnover rate catapulted. Not sure if this was apart of their plan (to replace the team) but I do know it left a sour taste in every ex-employee's mouth. HR was brought in during this time but they did absolutely nothing. Work life balance was non-existent.

      Pros

      EJ has a great company culture. They've been in business of almost a century and they've got their stuff down as far as helping clients invest their money for the long term. For new financial advisors, they have a great training program that will get you licensed and on your way to building a book of business. NOTE: You will have to work super super hard to build that book and it'll be about 5 years before you start to make anywhere near $100k.

      Cons

      They take 60% of your profits. The financial advisors are the only profit center for the company. In the beginning, they'll give you a salary and help you out. Once you become established however it doesn't make sense for you to keep your book there. My "mentor" had a book of business that generated $1M in profit each year, yet he was only making $400K. I know that's nothing to scoff at, but when your hard work and effort has built a book generating a million dollars a year, it doesn't make sense that the company would take $600k. It's not even a 50% split. The company takes more, and they really don't do much for you. Also, to build your business you will be going door to door introducing yourself to strangers. I didn't have a problem with that, but I know some people do.

      Good Company, outdated model

      Pros

      They offered great trips once you've been there long enough to qualify. The people are very supportive. I like the companies long term philosophy. Employee owned.

      Cons

      Door knocking. You're out on an island. The first 3-5 years you're building up your business on your own.
