Pros

Be your own boss Major Flexibility Great compensation after a few years Independence Great training Great Ethics Operate in independent workspace Really teaches a trainee how to help their clients fully

Cons

Terrible health benefits, if you are looking for this you will not find it here. Terrible salary compared to other financial advisors, especially wire house firms. Your mentor is usually a good distance away, mine was over 2 hours away. If you like to work in a team enviornment this is not the place for you. Overall it is a great company, but not the right fit for everyone.

Pros

- Decent benefits programs. - Teammates who cared about the quality of work they provided and the people they worked with. - Direct superiors who were people of integrity that I respect immensely and wish nothing but the best for.

Cons

- Recent removal of remote work for all associates regardless of how long they had worked remotely previously (13 years in my case). This push to onsite work will damage long term profitability and likely cause a mass exodus of talented associates (if it has not already). - Massive amount of offshore outsourcing that has greatly reduced the quality of work at the home office. - Lack of flexibility regarding work schedules that has severely damaged work-life balance.
