Pros

highly ethical, female led financial firm changing quickly, lots more opportunities for job growth / advancement for BOAs now than even just a few years ago

Cons

small office (frequently one Financial advisor and you) means personality matching matters the most no oversight on bonus sharing... some get nothing, some up to 50% (once the branch is profitable, usually around "level 5")

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
