Pros

Insurance Vacation Telephone Copier Computer

Cons

If you work for this company as a BOA ~ have a second income to help out, otherwise you may be in dire straights financially. Also, do not work in an office that has FA turnover b/c each time they turnover, you are basically back to square one and have no chance to move to a Senior BOA until your FA does. This has happened to many BOAs and some several times. They end up working years while BOAs with less time but in a higher level (AUC) move up quicker than you do, even though the jobs are about the same. It depends on the office. It's not equitable at all. This hurts your bottom=line, resume, and bonuses (though you get a $25 bonus if you do challenges each month - pathetic!)

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
