Better than the other houses. Tough to build a book of business in this environment; UBS doesn't know how either - Financial Advisor UBS Employee Review

Pros

Good support through licensing. A couple of real shining leaders of sales acumen in Weehawken, others, not so much. Good benefits. Better than the other big houses by reputation. Broad product platform. Free lunches from wholesalers.

Cons

No one is showing you the real cutting edge to get new clients in this environment and compliance will keep your hands tied. Branch direction can be quite different from Weehawken. If Hell breaks loose, as it did in 08-09; no one is going to hold your hand and help you.
