Pros

If you can survive for 5 years, the benefits are good. There is a health care plan and a 401K retirement plan for employees.

Cons

Very tough to get traction if you are not experienced. Forget about this job if you have thin skin. The amount of rejection you get is huge. 70% - 80% of the FAs fail at this job within 2 - 3 years.

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
