Pros

The BOA really do come together to help each other out. BOA look out for each other and older/senior BOA's will mentor younger/new BOAs which is EXTREMELY helpful.

Cons

The job of a BOA is a $60k/year job, while most get paid $40k. You really spend a lot of time cold calling (if your FA needs more clients/households) and often you are held responsible if a certain number isn't achieved. A lot of times the BOA is the one running the office while the FA has out of office meetings or only comes in if they are expected to meet with a client.

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.
