Pros

Great benefits and good pay

Cons

The BOAs career can be crippled by a lazy financial advisor. The advisor I worked for refused to work, called in sick constantly (one time 12 days in a row), drank on the job and talked to clients about taking money out of their homes to invest in the market. I went from loving my job to hating every moment of my work day. Management told me that if the FA wanted me to sit at a desk for 8 hours with nothing to do then that was their right as my supervisor.

Pros

Nice working environment. Good benefits. Nice culture. Good growth opportunites. Good training. Human resources was helpful to me, use them when needed.

Cons

Not all managers are created equal. Some are actually harmful to their staff. Organization is very big, make an effort to get noticed.

Pros

name recognition, mentor support, teaching trainees the right things to do when starting. the firm does not encourage you to sell to friends and family. however, everyone in this town has had their door "knocked on multiple times".

Cons

lack of screening in hiring of new fa's. nepotism, politics, existing books of business transitioning to new people vs. experience advisors.
