Cons
Company's structure is a little odd. Each financial adviser has their own location and only one office administrator which puts you with that person all day, If you decide to work in a local branch. You have to really get along with your branch partner. Most positions you apply for require some sort of college degree. Although the pay is competitive as it is on the lower side. This may be due to The company's structure of every financial advisor having their own office. I can see how expensive that would be to maintain.
