Pros

*If you enjoy work/life balance this place will allow you to work 9,8-5 PM. However, they jam pack the day with an amount of work that is impossible to finish within that time period. *There are great people at Fisher. I made very good friends there. If you are on the right team it was the only way the company / job was half bearable. *If you are straight out of school you may or may not receive a decent early career experience. It will depend on the team and position.

Cons

*If you have any type of intelligence and care about intellectual honesty then you should not work here. *If you have prior experience in Finance I promise you you will not be joining a finance company, you are joining a sales company. *Do not believe anything the recruiters tell you, they will lie, stretch the truth and leave out very important information. They are compensated in a big way on how many people come on board. *The bottom line is if you do not believe in the "fisher way" which is the only way at this company with anything you do, think or opine, you will be out within a year. It was like brain damage. It was also like the twilight zone. People worship Ken Fisher as a superior being. The company clearly advertises unethically, the salespeople lie, the clients get left holding the bag. The investment counselor's job is literally to not have a client leave. That is it, nothing more.

Pros

Company is willing to take candidates from a variety of backgrounds as long as they have acceptable experience [i.e. you don't have to be licensed super seller to be considered, but you do need good client experience].

Cons

N/A - wasn't there long enough

Pros

Incredible benefits, growth, and promotion of personal professional development

Cons

Favoritism, that can be found anywhere though. There isn’t much clarity within the workspace, for instance the US side earns WAY more than the international space. I didn’t learn this until a couple years in.
