Pros

Not many so if I had to choose it would be compensation.

Cons

Wealth Management Directors who manage with abusive tactics such as constantly threatening advisors with the loss of their jobs. Severe lack of focus on talent development and rampant finger pointing. Personal performance and achievement of goals does not matter as directors will find a reason to write you up if you are not part of their "inner group". Very convoluted and vague assessment criteria for Advisor performance and bonus calculations. Massive defection of advisors due to a very abusive culture within IAS. Many who have been with the firm for more than a year have learned to keep opinions and ideas to themselves for fear of negative backlash or retaliation. Work/ Life balance is discouraged. Unless your are with the "in crowd", forget about any opportunity for advancement and count yourself lucky if your not being managed out.

Pros

Benefits, salary, opportunities. Best job of my career thus far. Looking forward with great anticipation. It appears that there is a lot of opportunity for growth, both professionally and personally, They really seem to value a work / life balance more than anywhere else I have been.

Cons

Sometimes difficult to navigate. Many processes and procedures that could use some tweaking. Can often take a long time to make progress it seems. Too much organizational change at times. A somewhat complex hierarchy of management.
