Great crash course into the life of an associate Lots of senior speaker events, networking events, etc. Given lots of responsibility

Cons

Seniors are not incredibly approachable (usually have to book time with your Analyst) Greuling presentation/stock pitch at the end of internship ( be overprepard, very important) Training program is brief Not always clear what you're looking for in terms of the projects given to you

Pros

You receive health benefits day one no waiting period. There estate processing is very good and takes over the entire process but you MUST keep an eye on the entire process to ensure it stays on track.

Cons

Zero to little training Must utilize there AI tool for far too many tries before being able to call a person who can answer your question. Poor middle management skill set not willing to hear or see when there is an issue. This could be solely in the branch where I am. Advisors who are past their prime who think old school If your FA doesn’t pay for your parking then you have to. Firm should at least pay for those CSAs who are registered
