Pros

One year of training and a lot of support from headquarters in St. Louis.

Cons

It's a two person office. Salary raises, bonuses, promotion to SR. Branch Office Administrator (SR. BOA), incentives, etc. depend entirely on the perfomance, success and advancement of the Financial Advisor (FA). FA also completes an annual review that determines a salary raise.

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
