Morgan Stanley reviews

Chance of starting a practice here are very slim. Most people who successfully complete the training program are brought into an existing team and fed business. Most other trainees are just a way for experienced brokers to be fed business after they fail out. You are given no direction and are just a number on your managers spreadsheet. Production hurdles if you finish the training program are unrealistic and pay drops as low as 20% if you don't hit production goals.

In my case and a my branch level, there was very little to no help with my prospecting efforts. Never called in by my manager to see how things were going, no interest taken to my success. If you don't have a large network of prospects going in the ability to build a book in a years time and being aggressive in bringing business over, you won't be around very long.
