Pros

*Caring people, mean well *Good benefits for first 4yrs *Someone outside the industry can gain access to becoming and advisor

Cons

*End of day, its a pyramid scheme - home office skims way more off your revenue than value provided, senior FAs get support while lower-mid level suffer *Can't get out of their own way with tech - awful trying to wfh constantly kicked off remote, clients encounter issues even at account opening *focus on bringing clients money in, no focus or support what to do with it from there *bit of a smug attitude that somehow they are the only financial advisory firm that cares about its clients & have advisors who help each other - not true

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
