Pros

Direct client contact, flexible hours, generous benefits, learning and career advancement opportunities.

Cons

Small office setting (2 people), Silo 1: The Firm vs The Branch, Silo 2: The Financial Advisor vs The Branch Office Administrator. There is a level of distrust between the FA & the BOA; is it caused by the difference in wage earning (hourly BOA vs commission/fees FA)? Is it caused by difference in licensing (Lic'g Req'd for FA vs not req'd for BOA)? Is it caused by level of control of branch operations and business plans (BOA contributes but is not a full 'partner' in the branch)?

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
