Stingy and Poor Benefits, Bad work life balance.

Vice prez

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of talent and strong brand credibility

Cons

Horrible benefits- misrepresented at time of hire. NO 401K MATCH FIRST YEAR!!! 4 YEAR VESTING PERIOD AFTER THAT. 5% ESPP EXTREMELY LOW! VERY HIGH TURNOVER, BE PREPARED TO DO YOUR JOB AND THE REST OF YOUR TEAMS' THAT LEAVES. Work here for a year- have a big brand name on your resume then cash it in at another brokerage with better work life balance, financial incentives, etc. Minimal training so be prepared to run with what you got, no employee development- all time is dedicated to putting out fires.

We’re a people business and retaining the best colleagues is essential to what we do.
