Pros

Great brand for honesty and integrity. Snoopy. Good visability with the blimp. Good risk management. Great educational capabilities and product education. Reinforces good ethics and compliance.

Cons

High expenses. Payouts lowering. Pay to 'play' for everything. Compliance is extremely important in this litigious society; that said, should not be 'sales prevention unit'. Just coming into the next century re: securities and full service financial management. Has it's own parameters for these achievements which reinforce 'favorites' and stifle participation and advancement within. Encouragement of using 'natural market' to start career and then drop you for other 'newbies'.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
