Pros

Excellent salary and benefits. One of the most generous vacation packages in the Industry.

Cons

Very demanding culture. Definitely a New York centric culture at times views Denver, Charlotte and Boston offices as intellectual inferiors. Work life balance can be an issue if you don't set good boundaries. I have gotten emails at 2am on Easter Sunday with the expectation of a response by 8am the following day. I've witnessed folks being carried out on a gurney from exhaustion because they refused to set appropriate work/life boundaries.

Pros

Great work life balance, good benefits, decent pay, ease of running your own practice as an “advisor”, and healthy work environment

Cons

Management styles can vary and affect your experience, upper management doesn’t seem to be well equipped to ensure the organization’s success but it is resilient nonetheless.

Pros

Compensation is great for advisors once they are promoted to VP. Everyone else has to wait a year and hope for a good rating that's more of a game than merit based

Cons

Woke culture, reverse discrimination, very frustrating to do business with as a client
