Pros

If you can stick in the business, your pay will be excellent over the course of time Independence Profit sharing and profitability bonus can be very lucrative GREAT place to gain experience on many different types of assets/investments, esp for a young person looking to find a niche in the world of finance Very ethical company

Cons

VERY, very, very challenging to begin as a young person without much experience Expectations become lofty quickly People with connections often get great perks (this frustrated me immensely) You must be expecting a highly sales-based job - at times the "advice" is secondary

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
