Pros

Had the best clients while there.

Cons

No matter if you reach your goals you are told to do better without a thank you. Banking seems to be very deceptive. Its all about them making money no matter how they get it. They want you to put clients in products they don't really need so they have their claws in them and it makes it harder for client to switch banks.

Pros

-Access to Bank Clients -Lead lists -Ability to leverage relationships within the branch to accelerate investment relationship

Cons

-Internal competition with Private Advisor, Wealth Group, Portfolio Manager and Scott & Stringfellow -Branch employees have zero accountability to drive investment revenue -Branch employees have no understanding or training in how to approach investment relationship opportunities -Senior management doesn't care about the plight of the investment counselor -Lack of wrap accounts, products and brokerage abilities -High cost of products prices us out of many sophisticated clients -Lack of financial planning software to present plans to clients -Overall, a very Stone Age experience to investments and too much conflict internally leaves the investment counselor feeling like they're on an island that no one cares to visit.

Pros

It's a very large organized and efficient company. They are very customer focused and invest a great deal into info security and privacy. The benefits and compensation are competitive.

Cons

There is a philosophy that consistent overtime and weekend work is an acceptable standard. There is an extreme lack of esprit de corps.
