Pros

Fantastic training. Good place to learn about personal investing in a slow paced environment. Offices are mostly pleasant to be in.

Cons

Slow paced if you are working with a newer financial advisor. High turn over rate with very stressed out financial advisors, leaving the boa alone in the office during transition.

Pros

The checks clear. They have never laid had to do lay offs. You can work from home if you are content to never get ahead.

Cons

The "leaders" display very little leadership. Their mission is to find a way to shift all responsibilities to the person below them and to pay that person less. They spend their days in meetings which are more like social gatherings. Most of these meetings are about what to have meetings about. Most low level associates are miserable. The favorite motivational saying is, "consider yourself lucky that you have a job."

Pros

Make own hours, huge upside if given a big book. Own office eventually. Own assistant eventually also. Not much else.

Cons

Some regional leaders say you can only prospect within a couple miles of your office. It is nearly impossible, and not worth the low salary, if you do not get a big book of business. If you are new new, I would look to leave ASAP because the odds are not in your favor when they hire so many and are over saturating areas. The culture is almost cultish here and clicky.
