Pros

Love my co-workers and my boss. Resources are directed towards helping Advisors grow their businesses. Fun employee activities outside of the office, from holiday parties to bowling to Padre games.

Cons

I anticipate seeing consolidation of certain functions to shared services. Probably not a good time to join the company.

Pros

Very few. Most people were good to work with, although many of the good employees god fed up and have moved to LPL or others.

Cons

Exempt employees should not be classified as exempt under Cal labor laws, as they do not supervise others, have input on hiring, reviews, discipline or have the duties of an exempt supervisor. Low wages for volume of work and little help from team supervisors. Outsourcing was awful. As others have written, brokers blame SD staff for India errors and offshore did not want to improve. Mgmt admitted it's mistake in going offshore but the problem was not 'fixed'. If you are not a favorite of sevice team managers or higher up you are forgotten. HR does noot care about employees only how to save a buck.

Senior Level Executives who do not know what they are doing. Too much power.
