Pure sales! No financial advise is ever given to clients.

Pros

Nothing really. Management believes EVERY incoming phone call should be a sales call. Seriously?!?!

Cons

Management micro manages, management is condescending and believes Will Clark is the best left handed hitter in baseball (if you start working there and get HH as your manager, you'll understand). Benefits offer only 4% match on 401k. Phone rep must meet DAILY metrics or get called out publicly if you don't. No joke!

Hands Down the WORST company I've worked for

Pros

-Pay is decent -Snacks provided -Investment reps genuinely want to help the clients they work with

Cons

The upper leadership in the Phoenix office are the absolute worst I've ever had the displeasure of working with. Nepotism, aggression, threats - there's a constant, palatable sense of fear when you speak with the advisors about the work environment. Stay far, far away.
