Not good…..

Pros

Not much. Some people are cool.

Cons

Management on all levels is pretty bad. Especially beware of Business Development. Institution (bank side) specifically. I overheard their manager saying horrible things about the company and how he never should have left Ameriprise. And what he said about the women on his team…..it was VILE. Most of the BD managers are similar. People like this should never be employed at a Fortune 500 company. Not a good look. You will surround yourself with classier, more intelligent coworkers elsewhere.

Pros

If you are a recent graduate interested in the financial advising industry this will be a great place to start. The licensing program that gives you 6 months of paid study. Pay is low to average. Firm benefits are solid.

Cons

- Weak leadership that never plans all the way through forcing them to blame advisors for their poor planning. - You will get the run around to every question you have - Many colleagues feel misled from the conversation and expectations that were set during their interview - Upward mobility is low, they higher primarily from outside - You will not learn how to be a true financial advisor. You will only learn sales since you will push a certain product/platform - No long-term career path past senior advisor (senior advisor can be attained as soon as 12 months from passing your licensing exams) - You will feel like you’re only a number, as your direct manager and upper management are more concerned about your quarterly production versus your personal growth.
