Pros

The benefits are great; tuition reimbursement is more generous than other companies. Pension contribution is generous. Excellent corporate mission. Interesting investment strategies.

Cons

It does not feel like the company promotes internal employees. It appears company prefers external candidates for positions. The salary bands for many positions appear to be lower than industry standard.

Pros

Compensation is great for advisors once they are promoted to VP. Everyone else has to wait a year and hope for a good rating that's more of a game than merit based

Cons

Woke culture, reverse discrimination, very frustrating to do business with as a client
