Pros

Overall, the company is successful.

Cons

Greedy CEO, moving to more contractors in the corporate workplace (so they can say they don’t do layoffs), moving parts of back office support overseas to cut costs, suppressed corporate office bonuses while maintaining level bonuses for Financial Advisors and the most senior leadership (since 2020).
