Pros

This firm is highly toxic. No matter how much you want a job go elsewhere. Everyone who works at the firm is a living nightmare. Extreme rudeness, unprofessionalism, egotism, narcissism.

Cons

Low pay, long work hours, terrible environment, little control and low flexibility

Pros

THL is in the game now so surely they will be able to "fix" all that ails...or on second thought, if you are a potential employee or firm considering HighTower, I recommend that you go in another direction or you'll regret it.

Cons

Corporate hates the crybaby advisor teams, the advisor teams despise the disinterested Corporate employees. Disjointed, disorganized, confused mess of a firm. Corporate loves to ask for feedback from the gullible advisor teams but really decisions, products, etc have already been decided on.

Great vision, but no true leaders to execute

Pros

I learned a great deal from working there.

Cons

You are told you can express your opinions and fight for things you believe will make a difference, but quite often it falls on deaf ears. People are promoted not based on skill, but more who you know. Credit/recognition is quite often given to the upper management because they take credit for all the work that is actually done by others. Leadership changed over the years and the company no longer became a good place to work. No work/life balance- Expected to work too many hours and were looked down upon if you didn't.
