Pros

Can’t really think of any

Cons

Management isn’t the best and only certain people are treated with dignity And respect(the ones who kiss up) the rest of the people are treated as trash. Getting back to work in office sucks. No chance of moving up unless you are a kiss up.

Pros

Good Benefits, Average Company Culture

Cons

While the corporate culture is well intended, actual culture varies greatly office to office and, at least in Colorado, office culture is reliably bad. Toxic office management can really make or break this role. No diversity at all and no tolerance for individualism. There is very high turnover in the support staff role for a reason.

Pros

Become a referral machine or an asset gatherer and make a very good wage. Very little use of licenses required because compensation structure is focused / aligned toward previous point. Focus on E*TRADE's goals and you'll do well financially. Morgan Stanley has great benefits.

Cons

Morgan Stanley has placed a lot of focus on Morgan Stanley financial advisors to current E*TRADE clients. All marketing campaigns advertise MS FAs to E*TRADE clients, however E*TRADE FCs were never advertised to clients before or after the acquisition. E*TRADE FCs are now compensated to be referral machines. The writing is on the wall when the generous NNA comp grid is reduced. The writing is really on the wall when the segmentation starts. It has started in a hybrid manner... No path forward for FCs has ever been announced.
