Pros

Excellent Support, Low Stress, Great Retirement Plan, No Micro-managing, Good Hourly Pay, You do NOT have to have a degree

Cons

Fixed Income. As a BOA your bonuses are tied to the success of the advisor you are supporting which can change at any moment. No chance to make additional income if you have a new or low-performing advisor so bonuses are not guaranteed. No chance for advancement unless you go commission only and become an FA. Health Ins is high deductible/HSA (but they do contribute to HSA) it's ok if you don't have kids

Pros

- Decent benefits programs. - Teammates who cared about the quality of work they provided and the people they worked with. - Direct superiors who were people of integrity that I respect immensely and wish nothing but the best for.

Cons

- Recent removal of remote work for all associates regardless of how long they had worked remotely previously (13 years in my case). This push to onsite work will damage long term profitability and likely cause a mass exodus of talented associates (if it has not already). - Massive amount of offshore outsourcing that has greatly reduced the quality of work at the home office. - Lack of flexibility regarding work schedules that has severely damaged work-life balance.
