Pros

Financial advisors can control their own work schedules. This is a good place to begin career in financial services, but should only stay for a year or two.

Cons

General Partners in the corporate office make all the money. This system seems like a big pyramid scheme. Also, the benefits are terrible. The health care is extremely expensive and most FA's insure individualy outside the group plan.

Pros

- Decent benefits programs. - Teammates who cared about the quality of work they provided and the people they worked with. - Direct superiors who were people of integrity that I respect immensely and wish nothing but the best for.

Cons

- Recent removal of remote work for all associates regardless of how long they had worked remotely previously (13 years in my case). This push to onsite work will damage long term profitability and likely cause a mass exodus of talented associates (if it has not already). - Massive amount of offshore outsourcing that has greatly reduced the quality of work at the home office. - Lack of flexibility regarding work schedules that has severely damaged work-life balance.
