Pros

There are many great bank associates to work with. Most of them now have become disenfranchised and can not wait to retire. However, most of them will still help you with a clients needs.

Cons

As a Senior Financial Advisor this is a tough environment to work in and the compensation is by far the lowest in the industry. If you are fresh out of college this might be an opportunity to get you foot in the door until you get recruited by a company that appreciates your had work and pays you for it. This is a Mickey Mouse operation. They are way behind with technology and the paperwork is laughable. Compliance is taranicial and no mater how much information you give them, they always want more. If you have any other opportunity, take it. At this company, believe me they don't have your back and you are putting your U4 at risk working for this elementary wealth services company.

Pros

Great opportunity for learning and growth, and many people in the organization to learn from who are willing to help.

Cons

Over saturation of the market and unrealistic sales goals that are always changing make it difficult to set down stakes for the customers and team. Unlimited PTO leaves many managers picking up slack for multiple branches where other managers are rarely there, even when managers and team members out on medical leave.
