Pros

None. This place is awful.

Cons

Support for financial advisors depends on whether people at the local level like you. You need to schmooze the right people in order to get a good night. Also, make sure you have a healthy bank account prior to starting, as you will be paid peanuts and expected to finance your own marketing (although to their credit, they will reimburse you for a small bit). Be prepared for your quotas to constantly change. This is a pure sales job, and there is no advising about it. There are months where you may not be able to make ends meet.

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
