Pros

Some really great people. Bonuses paid on trimester basis, which keeps you there. Good location.

Cons

Most positive experiences are from branch office administrators and advisors working in branches. Home office culture is promoted to point of seeming cultish. Resources are allocated to "leaders" who want to make GP or compete with other GPs. As a result, you're in meetings all day and doing your work at night and on weekends to support those at the top.

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
