Pros

Good exposure to all aspects of transactions. Experience is truly what you make of it; if you try to get your hands dirty, you can, and you have the ability to sculpt a reputation for yourself even at a very junior level. Those who stand out are treated right come bonus time.

Cons

Exit opportunities can be limited - the firm tends to keep its best talent in-house and has not done much to extend opportunities outward. The analyst/associate promotion cycle (June vs. January) means that you can be in a tough position to make a decision when the time comes.

Pros

Very accessible and open architecture. FAs have full access to any and all resources of the firm and the home office does an excellent job supporting their branches and individual FAs.

Cons

There is practically zero training for newer advisors company-wide. Any training is done at the branch level and is almost entirely dependent on senior staff members' willingness to train/mentor new advisors.
