Pros

Raymond James is a conservative company with a good work-life balance. People that I work with were relatively nice and pleasant.

Cons

The pay could be better, including the bonus. There aren't many perks for you as an employee unless you live and work near headquarters in Tampa.

Pros

If you want to work as an "independent contractor" - it's a GREAT place. Very reputable name in the financial industry. Obviously, as a contractor, you have a lot of flexibility, which had been very important to me with young children. So, go in knowing what you are getting yourself into.

Cons

Absolutely ZERO benefits as an independent contractor, yet, with all the rules and regulations that a "traditional" employee would be subject to. As a contractor, you must still meet their sales quota, again, with no benefits whatsoever. I left the firm after investing over a decade of my life. I left with no benefits - NO - 401(k).
