Pros

Being a part of a company with a big name in the industry. Office closes early before traffic and your schedule is flexible. Good for a person with kids.

Cons

Financial Advisors are abusive verbally and inappropriate. They make errors often, and their assistants take the blame. If you want to complain to management about your experiences, they will say this is the industry, so you stay silent, because you realize the Financial Advisors make the money and assistants are expendable. Old Boys mentality, not a good place for a woman to get ahead, if you're a male, you'll do better.

Pros

People- I truly like 99% of the people that I work with, yes there are some unkind people but they are few and far between Benefits- 4% 401k match with vesting after 3 years, 16 weeks maternity leave, 4 weeks vacation when first starting, Cell phone discount, etc. Work Opportunities- given lots of opportunities to learn and grow

Cons

Work/Life Balance- be prepared to work more than 8 hours a day while not getting overtime, also if you are a good worker be prepared to get more responsibilities Compensation- after promotion to Associate from Analyst, I make less money then before due to overtime eligibility for Analyst only but do more work Career Direction- no clear path to getting promoted and no mentor-ship program Parking- not subsidized by the company, so you will be paying easily over $100 a month No Formal Training-came straight from college and was throw into work straight away
