Pros

Used to have a very generous benefits package. Good concept of providing reasonably priced investment services to non-profits

Cons

has strayed too far from its core, trying to get into all aspects of financial business, many "lifers" who get promoted only because of their longevity, not talent or abilities; tremendous hierarchy, where new titles and job levels are created all the time to give lifers somewhere to go.

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
