Pros

Good group of colleagues. Good support from head office.

Cons

If you have someone who doesn't know how to lead or manage, then you are in for a bumpy ride. Base salary is terrible. Bonuses make up for it, but you only get good bonuses once the branch is very profitable. Benefits provided are the bare minimum, which each associate pays into. Vacation days and sick days could be much better. There is a lack of trust, autonomy and flexibility within the branch and firm. I would not recommend this company to future BOAs, however, it is a great place to be for Financial Advisors.

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
