Pros

UBS puts a lot of money into training you and helping you get your licenses.

Cons

After you are licensed and done with training you are pretty much on your own. Cold call all day, everyday. This can only work if you come in and partner with a senior broker or if you are very well connected and can get lots of referrals.
