Pros

It is a great place to get industry training. Afterward three years experience one should go with an independent and build one's own book of business.

Cons

Poor management on all levels. They promote the "limited partnership" opportunity. However, one has to buy [when offered] with one's own money or borrow the money. I went independent and had ownership worth +$275,000 (as valued by FP Transitions) within 6 months of accounts following me.

Pros

They have allowed the HBA’s (home based associates) to remain remote

Cons

Micromanagers, they say they are okay if you want to apply to another department within the firm but the minute you do it’s like you get a target on your back. The pay doesn’t match the workload and the word is that you have to quit and then come back to make what you should already be getting paid. Benefits are terrible but 401k is pretty good
