Pros

If you want to become an FA, the people are generally welcoming, but make sure you choose a branch where the people there fit your personality. This branch did not fit mine, so it wasn't a great match.

Cons

This particular branch had nice enough people, but they were stuck in their habits and were not willing (or possibly weren't able to from regional or HQ orders) to change with the times. There was a lot of pushback from upper management. There was little to no company culture, and as usual, female assistants were undervalued. I saw a male assistant getting bonuses from his FA every time he tied his shoes (an exaggeration, but he got quite a few bonuses), and then female assistants who had multiple children were scrounging for an end-of-the-year bonus. I'm not sure if the execs were being greedy with the flexible part of the budget or if budgets were slashed by national higher ups, but it's not a good situation for women at this company unless you push to become an FA and fight for your standing.

Pros

Culture is great, and a lot of opportunity to move up if you’re motivated.

Cons

The pay is below average, they make up for it with more flexible WFH and culture.
