      Good starter, but no good long term

      Pros

      Easy to learn, training was decent, workflow wasn't too stressful, new topics to learn over time. Would be good place to start in a pinch if you have no experience, and get a year on your resume. See cons below.

      Cons

      Very hard to transfer out to other departments. Will only allow transfers based on current department's ability to let go, which is almost never adequate. Bonus and merit pay got progressively lower as company performed poorly. Management will find arbitrary reasons to let people go. This particular location has had multiple layoffs in recent periods, and turnover is extremely high.

      Great Place to Work

      Pros

      AB's is a good place to work with compensation at industry standards. Culture is increasingly focused on employee development and diversity. Product diversity is much better than 5 years ago and is leading to greater penetration into some markets. Company is in the process of reinvesting itself since the financial crisis.

      Cons

      Company has to be willing to stay the course and not allow short term bumps to impact its long term strategy.

      A mixed Bag.

      Pros

      Great people in associate and support roles.

      Cons

      Financial Advisors (FAs) generally have very little actual financial background. They are pulled from all over the place (lawyers, theater producers, radio ad salespeople, to name a few I knew) and given some financial training before being sent out to reel in clients.
