Pros

Pay and benefits were consistent with industry. Nice facilities.

Cons

As an employee with over 8 years of experience, I feel like somebody decided that I was making too much or was too old for the position and I was forced out. I went from being a valued employee to persona non grata in 6 months.

Pros

National level forward thinking Flexible hours Base pay little higher than normal Little supervision

Cons

Total pay package much less than Financial Adviser Never tell you pay and bonus goals until after Q! and sometimes Q3. Field management weak because they are not well trained. Mgmt focus on sales and not train and manage staff. Most critical expect you to be financial advisers but compliance training not match operations process so financial advisers have unnecessary personal liability. Not have enough legal resources to approve basic letter of information required for retirement readiness review after one plus year. Not have enough professional adult training resources to use them for transforming the field to advisers. HR weak.
