Pros

Great co-workers in the region.

Cons

New BOA's starting pay is almost as much as seasoned BOA's. Not compensated nearly enough based on the amount of work and responsibility expected. FA's control BOA's pay and bonus amounts so you are at the mercy of what mood your FA is in when rewarding raises and bonuses. The FA's are making tons of commission and bonuses plus earning reward trips while their BOA's are getting nothing or very little of the rewards while doing a significant amount of the day to day work. The health insurance premiums and deductibles are the worse I've seen for a large company. Individual deductible almost $5k and family is almost $10k but premiums are still crazy expensive. 401k match is maxed out at $500/yr for a company the promotes retirement planning--how embarrassing!! Current CEO is a very outspoken liberal.

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
