Pros

Yeah its got a few bumps and bruises, but its the most ethical firms on the street. You have a tremendous amount of oppty to grow your career in places you never thought about when it comes to financial services. They pay you to get your license, they pay you to further your education and they pay you to get things like your CFP.

Cons

Need to focus on a few cities if you really want to grow your career. Options aren't passed out as much as most would hope or want. Overall, its a pretty good place and I would refer people here.

Pros

gereous time off once you've reached tenure of 8 years. with sick time you accrue 20 hours a month

Cons

salary salary salary salary salary. They actaully are cocky enough to say they do pay below market and expect bonuses to actaully compensate to the level that you should earn. I'm sorry but does anybody else find something wrong with that?

Pros

The benefits are great, plenty of overtime if you want, and it looks great on a resume. Bonuses are fair, assuming you are not on the outs with your manager, and they allow you to dress in jeans every day-who woulnd't want that?!

Cons

Lack of understanding regarding the job by management, way too much overtime, especially during the Christmas holidays and around the end and beginning of each quarter. If you choose what's barely left of your family time over completing a project, you will probably be penalized for it.
