Pros

Easy job Name recognition within St. Louis Access to top management but it doesn't get you anywhere If you want to be doing the exact some thing for 20 years this is the place

Cons

VERY few promotions from within Pay stinks benefits are very expensive and not that great Lack of career progression Lack of acquisition of new skill The 'Beverly Hillbillies' run the firm No cultural awareness No regard for higher education, in fact some were criticized for getting avanced degrees General partners will flat out lie to you Movement to other departments is almost impossible No cultural or gender diversity

Pros

Name recognition Ability to set up shop nationwide Decent training and access to materials Vacation bonus incentives OT pay available while training

Cons

Workplace ignorance/insensitivity is highly prevalent Immaturity of new hires is obvious - some of the employees are plucked right out of high school without even attending or finishing college Diversity is non-existent: if you are a woman, immigrant, or ethnic minority, prepare to stand out like a sore thumb Very "small town" "mid-Western" feel, not recommended for worldly job-seekers used to living in a city or those who have worked globally Very poor medical coverage/benefits

Pros

very independent minded employees and management. great back office support, as well as in office support from BOA. Good reputation.

Cons

Sell, sell, sell if your not into that its not for you. Door knocking is by far the biggest draw back, it is out dated and very tough to turn up business in this manner.
