Pros

This company and the employees actually practice what they preach. They are truly ethical, honest, hardworking, and fun! The mentor program is great because the mentors have a lot to offer to intners and are willing to share their time and knowledge with the interns. My mentor always checked with us, made the internship a great experience, and NEVER looked down upon us. This internship is paid so its a great way to earn some money! We also had intern appreciation days each month of the internship; these were so much fun! The interns were treated to TopGolf, a grand meal at Uchiko, and a festive weekend trip to Galveston all paid for by the mentors. I never felt out of place during my internship here. All in all, a GREAT company culture, a very educational internship (learning about the career and also about myself), and a fun environment.

Cons

The interns are expected to prospect for clients which can sometimes be dry; it is a big barrier to entry in the career. Another con was that we did not get paid for attending client dinners which were mandatory. There was not a platform for the most successful interns to share how they are succeeding in the internship with the ones who were struggling.

What a great idea! We should start a panel so that the interns that are succeeding can share best practices with other interns as well as the mentors. Also, you might want to write an article of your best tips and we can share it with incoming interns. Thanks for your advice!

Pros

As an independent advisor, you truly do have access to way more solutions that would culminate in a personalized financial plan experience for your clients.

Cons

As a whole, the organizations lean heavily on the "you're building your own business" mentality. Due to this, there is less direct training than some would find ideal
