Cons
-Excessive Micromanagement by Client Service Managers/Supervisors run a big risk of ruining a truly great firm built by a great CEO (Ric Edelman) that truly wants to help the average investor -Something interesting I noticed, although its "Equal Opportunity Employer", Yet there is not a single Male individual in a supervisory/managerial role in the operations/client service department in the firm -"Open Door Policy" is promoted, however in reality anything that is said can and will be used against you even when the intention is for a positive change
