Pros

Exceptional management, great advisor support and consistent investment in culture, platform, technology and operations. Good benefits and 401(k). Open-minded leadership.

Cons

I have no complaints. I came from a wirehouse, and the differences between life at a brokerage firm and life at an independent are like night and day.

Pros

Most people are extremely dedicated and hardworking. Very collaborative environment with people working together to fix problems. Ambitious plans for growth.

Cons

Several people in key leadership positions struggle to effectively balance long-term goals with the immediate realities of available resources. Important positions have been left unfilled, or replaced with much less experienced employees. One of these people should not be in charge of managing employees, they are utterly incompetent and extremely unprofessional.

Pros

The people are the best part of the firm.

Cons

Too many to list, bottom line the firm is filled with political games and favorites. So many hardworking people are taken for granted and there are many people in many departments who have no business managing people or making decisions. Scroll the glass door reviews and nearly all of the high scores are written by the people who are favored or their subordinates. The president used to be a favorite of employees and now he is just a shell of a leader who can no longer look people in the eye with genuine sincerity.
