      Sinking or swimming in the Bering Sea

      Financial advisor associate
      Recommend

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There is a lot of flexibilty in how you build your business. It's up to you - sink or swim. If you love talking to people, don't have fear of rejection, and are well connected you can make a lot of money. Pure capitalism at its "finest." Brand name provides a marginal benefit when speaking with clients/prospects

      Cons

      Salary is very low versus other careers, and sales pressure is heavy and persistent. It's nearly impossible to reach the goals that are presented in your job offer because industry fees continue to compress, payouts are slim for newcomers, and clients and potential clients generally consider what you do to be a commodity. Very few truly prosper. Don't expect to make a whole lot for at least 4 years unless you have rich family members willing to let you manage their cash.

      Pros

      There are some great people who really care about he customer at the firm. Many of the systems are pretty good with updates being made all the time. Benefits are great.

      Cons

      Senior management actions and words make employees feel that the do not value their people as important resources. They do "at" their employees instead of "with" their employees.
