Pros

You work with smart, motivated people. You are involved with the heartbeat of Wall Street It is a very unique environment. Senior management tries very hard to communicate initiatives.

Cons

HUGE egos. If you are staff, you will almost never move into management. The company likes to pull from outside the firm, at least in the Atlanta area. There is not nearly enough training of operations people. You are thrown into the job. Plenty of people will help, but expect a sink or swim environment.

Pros

You receive health benefits day one no waiting period. There estate processing is very good and takes over the entire process but you MUST keep an eye on the entire process to ensure it stays on track.

Cons

Zero to little training Must utilize there AI tool for far too many tries before being able to call a person who can answer your question. Poor middle management skill set not willing to hear or see when there is an issue. This could be solely in the branch where I am. Advisors who are past their prime who think old school If your FA doesn’t pay for your parking then you have to. Firm should at least pay for those CSAs who are registered
