Pros

Get paid while studying for licensing exams. Great resources to pass exams. Get to be your own boss.

Cons

Once you are past the licensing and initial training you are left to the wolves in my region. There are a handful of other FAs in the region who will answer questions if you can get them to make time for you but ongoing, useful support from St Louis and others in the region is sporadic and can't be counted on. You have resources online but that isn't the best substitute for personal assistance. If you are not lucky enough to take over an office it will be quite a struggle.

Pros

They have allowed the HBA’s (home based associates) to remain remote

Cons

Micromanagers, they say they are okay if you want to apply to another department within the firm but the minute you do it’s like you get a target on your back. The pay doesn’t match the workload and the word is that you have to quit and then come back to make what you should already be getting paid. Benefits are terrible but 401k is pretty good
