Pros

Starter salary, good initial welcoming snd training in St Louis, paid licensing support and self study from home. Mostly autonomous.

Cons

Horrible support after initial training. Managed from input of daily activity so if you are busy and don’t stop for hours every day to input activities you get “those” calls from the home office. Don’t expect any help although everyone offers. No one is paid to help you so they will give advice on the phone when they have a break in schedule. Compensation stinks. The salary for so many, paid offices and such are so expensive and the industry so cut throat that it takes 10s of millions under management to make any decent paycheck.

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
