It’s not good

Pros

You get paid and have health insurance

Cons

Unmanageable work load; unrealistic expectations; out of touch executive leadership; no accountability; irrational over-engineered and inefficient processes, procedures & policies; terrible technology, both software and hardware is barely functional at best; below standard PTO; and unreasonably low wages when the managing partner gets a $25m bonus for what seems to be destroying anything that embodies every principal the company was built on.

10 steps from being a toxic workplace

Pros

The firm has a good benefits package.

Cons

The firm gives the financial advisors cart blanche to literally do whatever they want. They are often racist, sexist, and always ageist to their support staff (BOAs) The branch office administrators are underpaid and overworked. People that are looking for at least a living wage (base pay - bonuses are not guaranteed) should not apply for the BOA roles at all - THEY ARE NOT EQUITABLE. BOAs should really unionize to ensure fair treatment, cause they aren't getting it. Train non-managers/financial advisors how to interview candidates, they often have never had any experience with this because they have never even been managers or team leads. Offer training/career growth to other areas of the firm that are not financial advisors & branch support. They are not the only associates of consequence, although the firm really leans that way.
