Pros

If you are a simple person that cares more about selling than the academics for portfolio constructions, then this is a great company. These guys are not the best and brightest, but that is ok, the clients that they are serving are not the most sophisticated.

Cons

I would like to sell covered calls for my clients and for those that had too much in one security, I would have had them purchase a put option if they would not diversify.

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
