      FAA - Financial Advisor Associate Morgan Stanley Employee Review

      4.0
      Mar 13, 2018
      Financial advisor associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval

      Pros

      Education, training, friendly competent colleagues, allows a runway to build a book of business while supporting with a salary initially. Other FA's helpful if I had questions on systems, investing questions and other.

      Cons

      In my case and a my branch level, there was very little to no help with my prospecting efforts. Never called in by my manager to see how things were going, no interest taken to my success. If you don't have a large network of prospects going in the ability to build a book in a years time and being aggressive in bringing business over, you won't be around very long.

      Pros

      Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

      Cons

      They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
