Pros

Good Training, you progress to the level of junior broker in most worlds.....if you go somewhere else.. the learning curve is steep

Cons

They like to sue over everything, use fear and intimidation to scare everyone. If you leave, they will try to smear you to delay your conversion of clients. They like to say that you are running your own business...nothing could be further from the truth. The product offerings are limited, no financial planning options only needs analysis, they won't let you put their FAST proposals in a folder and give it to the client. The hypocritical Regional Manager was fired because of sexual harrassment...They let a 20 year guy go after paying out some arbitration claims, then told everyone that he left for health reasons.

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
