Pros

Flexable schedule, you make what you find and sale. If you know a lot of people and are able to win their confidence then you may have a good chance of survival.

Cons

Tough times for financial industry, people are unsure what to do with thier money. Getting you securities certification is not the easiest thing to acquire. Most burn out within the first two year. If you can not get in front of a lot of people, then you will not survive. There is a lot of cold calling and phone work. After you make it past your 2nd year and if you have built up a good clientel, it does not mean continued success.

Pros

Solid benefits package, manageable workload. Can be a comfortable landing spot if you're able to tune out the outdated processes and legacy mindset.

Cons

The company undergoes frequent restructuring, and technical leadership often lacks the depth needed to guide modern engineering decisions. The culture can feel rooted in an older, more traditional mindset, and promising initiatives frequently get stuck in POC hell rather than reaching production. Career progression is also very manager-dependent; the wrong reporting relationship can significantly stall your growth. Overall technical bar is low — if you're trying to sharpen your skills, this environment may hold you back rather than push you forward.
