Pros

Pay while you get your license. If you are nostalgic for the olden days, this may be the firm for you.

Cons

Analysts never met a stock they didn't like. Bullish all the way to the bottom of the pool. Technology and sophistication are lagging most other firms. Door to door sales model doesn't work for everyone. Financial product training is extremely limited. Organizational structure at the local level is almost non existent. You will be working for yourself, by yourself and you will only get help from other FA's that are trying to run their own business.

Pros

They have allowed the HBA’s (home based associates) to remain remote

Cons

Micromanagers, they say they are okay if you want to apply to another department within the firm but the minute you do it’s like you get a target on your back. The pay doesn’t match the workload and the word is that you have to quit and then come back to make what you should already be getting paid. Benefits are terrible but 401k is pretty good
