Always lagging

Pros

It's a good place for someone new to the finance industry to attain securities licenses. It's a good place for someone seeking a "job" over the short to intermediate term; not a long term career. Would recommend to a friend only in these cases.

Cons

Very few opportunities for career advancement outside of the Baltimore MD home office. Extremely politicized work environment, with entrenched mid and senior management. Company is constantly lagging behind industry with regards to client-facing technology and internal work systems. Company has built a reputation of underpaying employees by just enough so that: 1. Employees question the companies sense of value placed on retaining talented people. 2. Employees constantly struggle with the prospect of looking to other employers for career advancement and equitable pay. Company has taken an adolescent approach to metrics for employee performance. This approach has completely changed the value proposition for our clients. Representative and client interactions are now focused completely around an arbitrary metric, and no longer around the client need. The company as a whole lacks vision and a mission (and mission statement), from the top down.

Pros

The only pro with this department is the Licensing Opportunities

Cons

AVOID THIS DEPARTMENT AT ALL COSTS. The job is FAR more complicated and detailed than what it pays. You can learn one department and be promoted in a phone group much quicker. You'll also make more money on phones. It takes forever to get up and running with the studying for the licensing and learning to write on your own. Most people run like the wind after being here for a year because the environment is so toxic. MANAGEMENT - Management is horrible! None of them are well versed in writing so they're useless. They also don't know the different departments in order to assist you with questions. TRAINING - There really is no training on the writing part. Or the different parts of the business they support. They may put you through that department's new hire training but you're pretty much on your own. Once you learn how to do something they just keep piling the work on. MAJOR MICROMANAGEMENT - They micro manage everything you do down to where your mouse is on the screen and how long the screen is idle. There's more freedom in the phone groups which makes no sense. MANDATORY OVERTIME - Be prepared to work 1-2 hours of mandatory overtime most days of the week. They're also always so short staffed that you can't get time off when needed. PHONE CONTINGENCY - If you came from an internal phone group and phones are busy, be prepared to be shipped back over there at a second's notice to answer phones.
