Pros
Coworkers, fair to generous salary, good benefits
Cons
If you’re on a crappy team, especially one with a lot of turnover, don’t expect to be able to move. The advisor I supported is a legitimate psychopath and management was made FULLY aware by not only me but the revolving door of associates that left his team prematurely and provided evidence as well as scathing exit interviews. Despite their extensive knowledge of his less-than-kosher tactics (ie illegal/ non-compliant) Oh yeah, and training is minimal and the technology is so far behind it’s laughable. Middle managers are also mostly useless but they do mean well...they can’t be as effective as they need to be when they’re constantly drowning in the sea of BS being thrown their way. I can’t speak to the banking side but the PWM has impeded their ability to be a top tier wealth management firm by being wholly ill-prepared for growth as they try ever so hard to become like the top wire houses.
