Pros

It is fine if you want a place as an independent with comparable compensation with other independents.

Cons

Compliance is awful. I have been an advisor for 19 yrs, I have never received even one complaint. My production is in the 600K level, My business is almost exclusively wrap accts where i charge a max 1 percent per yr. Compliance badgers you over picayune stuff . They nickle and dime you on fees. You need a forensic accountant to analyze your production payout sheets. I have an MBA from a top 20 B- School and abhor having to deal with it. I feel like i was not being compensated for all of my wrap fees.

Pros

Good work life balance and benefits are pretty good depending on management. Really the only thing that kept me here so long was the people in my team.

Cons

Pay is lacking compared to competitors. CEO makes 15 million and CFO makes 10 million, but they don't want to pay competitive wages. Senior Leadership in finance space have brought it up, but little to no change
