Pros

I would recommend as a good place to get some experience early in your career with a respected financial services firm. Then move on.

Cons

Limited advancement opportunities. Firm prefers to hire higher level positions from outside rather than promote from within. Pay and bonuses not commensurate with level of responsibilities and contributions. General Partners have little respect for employees and sales force. Don't be conned by the "partnership" propaganda. Firm uses limited partnership as a carrot for tenure and a mask for low pay and mediocre benefits.

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
