Pros

Very good work / life balance when compared across the industry. Generally, very good people to work with.

Cons

Company is very slow in getting anything done. There is small faction of long-time employees who aren't as eager to partner / work together.

Pros

Clients, financial planning process, commitment to clients. Well thought out process to planning however too much focus on developing out all parts of planning at same time, instead as appropriate for clients. Clients are highly educated, very nice, and easy to work with. Coworkers and admins are great to work with. Good for beginner needing to learn some basics and with no family or commitments outside of work as must be willing to ignore family and personal needs for 2-3 years to get book of business established. Knowledge and experience externally is not valued.

Cons

Micromanagement, negativity, vicious Directors willing to churn advisors to promote themselves to advisory leadership without concern for clients. Director with needle you on everything little thing, you will feel crushed. Bad move for my career. Everything you do and say will be held against you in your year end review and bonus.

Pros

Several career opportunities and compensation is favorable compared to others in the industry. One of few companies to offer such a competitive retirement plan!

Cons

Diversity exists more in Operations and lower tiered roles. While there is some diversity in senior leadership, there is room for improvement. Also, medical benefits have changed and options are limited.
