Pros

Some flexibility because my financial advisor allows it.

Cons

Home office only cares about on going growth and training for Financial Advisors. They bring in the assets. They do not realize BOA's help keep the assets at the branch. We work for probably 10 - 15 k less than industry average. No extra money for licenses and FA has to give you permission to get license. This is new carrot Penny Pennington has dangled in front of BOA's. Studying must be done on work time along with doing our other duties. Off work study time not allowed and not paid for. Hard to do when FA's is gone most of the time and we are holding down fort. Major discontent amongst BOA community. No future in position. Offering market raise in January to hopefully bring us up to market average but FA makes decision on how much BOA gets, should be same amount across board, this is not based on performance. It is a market raise. Many FA's will opt out or give lowest so it won't hurt their profit statement. HR will always side with FA due to them bring in assets. Pass on this company until they get with the times.

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
