Pros

they pay for your licenses and pay you while you study for them

Cons

nothing else - poor compensation, poor management, very poor setup for the FA This is the worst job I've ever had in my life. I have heard this job being described by a GP as one of the greatest opportunities in american capitalism - DO NOT BE FOOLED! they want you to do almost free advertising for them and take your accounts when you fail. This is too similar to a pyramid scheme - guess who benefits? All the general partners at the top!

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
