Pros

I've been in financial services for nearly 30 years and have worked at three of the most prominent wealth management firms in the US. Morgan Stanley is a very good place to be, especially right now with challenging public markets. MS is a leader in alternative investments which will flow downstream to more and more investors.

Cons

Very big firm and easy to be distracted in all of the internal emails and management focuses. Getting more efficient with phone support since we can rate virtually anyone we talk with after the call. So everyone is incentivized to get it right the first time. In my opinion, branch management is stretched thin so challenging at time to get the support needed.

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
