Pros

Walnut Street Securities provides an excellent gateway for independent advisors. Excellent support from the back office and immediate attention is provided when problems arise.

Cons

The main issue with being involved with an independent brokerage firm is the lack of benefits or discounts available with group coverage. This is the downside inherent with being a contracted employee.

Pros

There really is a great deal of flexibility for personal life and family situations, and employees are respected in spite of differences. People as a whole are very nice to work with, but the higher you go, the less diversity there is and it's more male-dominated. Then again, this may be typical in a country like Mexico and not found in MetLife USA.

Cons

Not much room for career opportunities or advances. Also, it depends what department you're in - there doesn't seem to be a single, unfiying culture across divisions. I have hjeard a variety of stories about Sr. Managers and Directors running their areas like tiny fiefdoms, so it's luck of the draw as to which one you get.
