Not good for anyone

Pros

Hybrid work but that is essentially over

Cons

Toxic work environment, service professionals expected to be available on the phones for back to back calls, 30+ calls a day. Cannot use the bathroom without asking. For this role specifically- they will sell you on upward mobility and opportunity but it is very rare that service professionals make it “off the phones.” There is no time for career development or any work life balance much less being able to do basic things like use the bathroom. They are not staffed correctly to handle the amount of calls they receive so you bear the brunt of that and deal with angry advisors all day, without a moment between calls. Additionally you are expected to do a ton of administrative work while taking these calls. Expected to return to office 3/5 days- with no compensation to match that increased gas mileage.

Pros

Salary is decent depending on position. Traveling with all expenses paid without issues. Contributions to changes and enhancements. Opportunity to meet different people in various job roles and functions

Cons

There are serious cliques and if you are not part of it you are ostracized and will never move up or be promoted. No real training. You are left to figure it out alone. Have separate processes and procedures for different employees. Also has too many systems to find anything. Changes are made without notification. This company Does not necessarily follow the Finra rules and regulations. Compliance is not important. Most of the managers are not licensed but supervise those that are. They do not follow their own code of conduct and turn a blind eye on injustices depending on who it's against. They are aware of horrible and toxic environment but will banish anyone who brings it to light. This was the worse company to work for.
