Pros

Every day is different, which I like. I feel like I am helping people, which gives me a good feeling. The other BOAs, no matter where or at what level, are always willing to help answer questions. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it isn't uncommon for BOAs to become financial advisors.

Cons

The insurance plan changed this year to where I had to pay full price for everything up until my deductible, then 20% up to my out of pocket max for in-network and then insurance started to cover the costs. Bonuses are determined by the FA. If they give you more money out of the "pot" of money they are given to manage the branch, they get less.

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
