Pros

Training was good years ago. They used to leave you alone as long as you were legal, ethical and profitable. Those days are long gone.

Cons

The culture in the home office and the field has been destroyed. It’s all about the money now. Home office folks are getting shafted as hundreds of jobs have been sent to India as the firm enjoys record profits. FA’s are being turned into robots that just punch client data into the computer which then churns out a slick looking report that recommends all client assets go into Jones proprietary products. Lather, rinse, repeat.
