Pros

Will experience the thrill of being at a start-up that is an industry changing leader. Work with the best from every field. HighTower is a leading advisor-owned financial services company. HighTower Advisors are free of those conflicts typically found in traditional brokerage firms. We are totally independent, yet fully supported in both viewing the financial lives of our clients more completely and working with them more effectively.

Cons

If you are not up for the time it takes to get things done at a start-up, won't be a great fit.
