Pros

Small offices give you a great opportunity to build relationships with the clients and your co-worker. The back office support is exceptional and the technology makes your job painless. There is bound to be an office in your town or neighborhood and if there is not they want you to start your own.

Cons

This job is100% reliant on your co-worker. The FA's rely so heavily on the administrators that they are lost without them and the administrators rely so heavily on the FA for income, reviews, and communication that the relationship can be the best ever or the worst you will ever encounter. You have plenty of tools and back office help to be successful but if this relationship doesn't work you will be miserable with nobody else in the office to play peacemaker.

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
