Pros

Company has a solid culture. Lot of nice people and decent pay, below bulge bracket banks though.

Cons

Company is growing and there are some legacy bosses that are awful. Like devilish awful. Report when you have to pee, cant leave the desk period awful, lunches, 5 minute break to network with your other groups on the floor awful. Required to go to seminars for education and if there is construction and you were unaware, prepare to defend your self to the death why you were 10 minutes late. Guilty until proven innocent. These same mid level senior people that have been there too long are super paranoid. They are also extraordinarily lazy. So when you are working with no breaks in a 10+ hour day, weekends arent off the table, and they feel they can say, "oh by the way, do this that and the third, it crushes you. No work life balance. They arent small tasks either. Its, "our admins are tired so please do their job, and oh, learn this entire system and yes it takes 100 hours to learn, and yes everytime you use it it will be 20+ hours min, per client, thats ok because our admin has been here for 10 years and I have been here for 20. Your title doesnt matter is the point nor your time in the industry. For all of this stress and extreme time commitment, they promise you a compensation package and dont honor it. Never experienced that before. Your fate is in the hands of the roulette wheel, meaning, did you get a nice boss that fits the overall culture or a psycho? Advice, don't walk but run from any wealth management front office job in their dallas office.

Pros

I honestly can’t say there are any pros.

Cons

Micromanaged. Disorganized. Windowless room. Not worth staying long term.
