Pros

hmmm, maybe the flexibility of wfh? They are requiring everyone to be back in the office

Cons

Management is extremally week and not knowledgeable. IF you are unfortunate enough to work with with a lazy planner who doesn't use their resources and make you carry their weight, it takes away the small pro above.

Pros

Only worked here 2 months and can already tell this was one of the best companies I could have started my financial planning career with!

Cons

Training could be a little bit more - although they do have you shadow for a while after training so not that big of a deal.
