      Pros

      You get your licensing (series 7,63,66). You get a lot of experience building financial plans and making portfolio recommendations. Do not have to build your own book. Promotion is based on performance not on time in job. Salary is competitive. You start as a "Foundations" Advisor, pay is around $65k with bonus around $10k. Then move to Level 1 with pay at $70k and bonus at $15k. Level 2 is $80k with $25k bonus potential. Bonus is based on team performance, so highest performer receives 100% of bonus amount, second highest 95%, etc. Good pay but bonus structure could be improved.

      Cons

      It's a call center environment at the end of the day. You will deal with a lot of service related issues. Training is OK not great.

      Pros

      As the industry got past its peak a long time ago, I don't find any pros for working for a big investment bank

      Cons

      Sub-par comp, mediocre managers and colleagues, favoritism, expensive health insurance premiums with limited coverage etc. The list goes on and on. Worst of all, there is no prospect for a better future, neither professionally nor personally.
