Pros

Great colleagues to work with.

Cons

Senior management is set in their ways, poor management style overall. Employees are left to fend for themselves and poor growth potential. Managers do not value employees at all and tend to take credit for employees work. Poor promotion potential and if you are not liked you will either be terminated or demoted. Leadership has been there in WM IT for over 15+ years and only a detriment to the environment. Employees are afraid to speak up and management is retaliatory.

Pros

Flexible schedule. Most of the senior advisers are helpful if you go to them.

Cons

The "training" was 95% about selling yourself and selling the company. I was in disbelief as to how little had anything to do with financial markets, or the actual products offered. The "training" in New Jersey was useless and basically just a time to party. I would NEVER refer any of my friends or family to and adviser here now that I know just how limited their actual knowledge is.

Pros

It is a Good learning environment and there are pretty good benefits. The work schedule is nice. Lots of overtime is offered.

Cons

Short training period. Put on the phones to be the assumed expert, but certain lines of business that you are skilled in take months for you to feel comfortable.
