Pros
A lot of young professionals between 25-30 which led to a lot of fun extracurricular activities- A lot of resources for Financial Advisors to take advantage of to help run their businesses.
Cons
....resources mean nothing if they are not managed by the right individuals- meaning transparent, honest, and professional individuals- Barnum Financial lacks this. Management does not care about their employees or advisors; people who control payroll, bonuses, promotions, and advisor compensation pay themselves first, and everyone else what is left. Management is not always honest to staff/advisors about important business changes that directly affect employees. Advisor compensation for insurance and retirement products is well below other companies in the Financial Services industry. Staff/Infrastructure compensation is horrible- there is not a lot of vertical growth potential for infrastructure- most 'growth' comes from a horizontal change to a new role/department.
