Pros

- Freedom of time - Opportunity to build foundational Advisor Experience

Cons

- Very much a who you know business - Misguidance on book of businesses given to you. Don't expect any of the assets to be given to you are somehow going to help you. Other advisors dump those assets on you and create no revenue for you. - Don't buy into the mantra that ever advisor is there to help you. - Ponzi-esque

Cons

- Home office culture is horrible and getting worse (cronyism, poor leadership, lack of care/focus for associates) - Regressive HR policies - Senior leaders are disconnected from reality - Consultants running amok - Poor pay and even poorer benefits (unless you are a partner) - Technology introductions and org changes have been botched time and time again - Company is way off course to achieve its long term goals
