Pros

The people you work with on a daily basis are very intelligent, dedicated and extremely hardworking. Benefits are decent. Good contribution by the company to employees' retirement plans.

Cons

Unfortunately, like many big companies decisions are made based on politics and not on the merit. It seems like the company has lost its soul and forgotten the reason for its existence. Too bad as this was once an excellent company with an outstanding and very ethical reputation. Not so much any more.

Pros

Great work life balance, good benefits, decent pay, ease of running your own practice as an “advisor”, and healthy work environment

Cons

Management styles can vary and affect your experience, upper management doesn’t seem to be well equipped to ensure the organization’s success but it is resilient nonetheless.

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
