Pros

Staff truly puts the best interests of clients first. Act in a fiduciary setting. Work-life balance was very good.

Cons

Home office fired productive workers once they completed certain tasks. Claim to be focused on growing, but staff rarely focuses on meeting with new potential clients. During my time at my home office, we only gained one small client. Potential FINRA violations that happened during my time. Spent more time trying to internet outages than actual work projects. Limited to no growth. The position you're originally hired in is the position is the position you'll stay in. Management set unrealistic goals and never got close to meeting them.

Pros

Flexible PTO, good healthcare and maternity/paternity leave plans, inflation raise each year with a bonus dependent on company profits. Supportive and friendly staff.

Cons

Mostly in-office work with one WFH day. Not many raise opportunities past the one each year to account for inflation.
