Wonderful coworkers. Work life balance is very high compared to other companies. There is a fair amount of time off.

Upward mobility is a challenge. More often than not, upper level positions were unfortunately higher from outside instead of promoted within.

Pros

Compensation is great for advisors once they are promoted to VP. Everyone else has to wait a year and hope for a good rating that's more of a game than merit based

Cons

Woke culture, reverse discrimination, very frustrating to do business with as a client
