Pros

This is really a wonderful company. The company has a well-deserved reputation for honesty, intergrity and customer care, so I feel I can always be proud to work here. Communication across all levels is fantastic. The support staff at headquarters is great....always ready to go the extra mile when you need it. The company treats employees as highly valued individuals. Benefits are well-managed and thoroughly explained. The fact that this is a partnership rather than a publicly traded company helps provide unity and stability.

Cons

There's little chance for change for a BOA, and the two-person office format means it tends to be a pretty lonely job.

BOAs are gravely underpaid for their significant contributions to the business.

Pros

The level of experience gained in the financial industry is great, coupled with the ability to build a business in your local community. I personally left a great job making 3x more money to be able to work closer to home since I have a young family. I do appreciate the small town atmosphere and the small team with in the office. There is a feeling of "home" when I'm at work and that can make a huge difference when you are spending 8-10 hours a day in this environment. When the market is good, everything is great, but when the market is bad, you really have to step up to the plate.

Cons

The pay for the Branch Office Administrator is depressingly low and in no way reflects the knowledge and effort needed to be successful in this position. The Financial Advisors are the ones who reap all the credit, the rewards and the benefits. As a BOA I put in more hours than anyone at my location but my paycheck barely helps my husband to pay some of the smaller bills around the house. A "Thank You" is rare and I often find myself bending over backwards to make my FA look good, especially when he's hardly ever there. It's time the BOAs were put on the same level of respect and compensation as their sales-oriented counterparts.

Pros

I am my own boss. Pay is only limited by me and more sources of income such as partnership and bonuses kick in as career progresses. my schedule is determined by me, allowing proper life balance. I can run my business the way I want as long as I am profitable and ethical.

Cons

sometimes you feel like you are on an island. there is a limit on opportunities to further your education or pursue advance degrees and have the company finance it. Job can become boring over time because it is the same thing everyday. The company makes it difficult to change locations or take over assets that would put you in a more desirable situation. They don't reward veteran or successful advisors with these opportunites, they just keep bringing in more and more advisors because of the company's emphasis on growth. Information is somewhat limited. They want to focus on what they are good at, but take a long time to adapt to changing landscape of the business. keeps us out of trouble in the news, but limits our competitiveness.
