Pros

If you are a self starter, driven to help people, but don't quite have it all figured out, this is the place to be. The firm genuinely cares for their advisers AND clients.

Cons

None, meaning no cons, if you are a business minded person who wants to be successful, you will take advantage of every opportunity provided. Otherwise if you are just looking for a job, you should reconsider going to work for someone who wants to be your boss and direct you how to help them make more money, this place is here to support the business efforts of each person who is building a client services practice. With that in mind, costs are looked at not as costs at all by successful people but rather investments. Investments in you, investments in your knowledge, investments in your skills, investments in your brand, and investments in your pursuit of happiness. Do these things cost money? of course they do, but by definition a cost is something you cannot get back, whereas an investment by definition provides you not only your money back but in addition it offers a rate of return while your money is in it!
