Pros

Workplace flexibility, vacation, True to the "low cost" belief. Clients come first. Some managers are fantastic and supportive. Coworkers are great.

Cons

Low cost meant dropping fund fees, now it means dropping employee benefits, unless you're upper management or high up contributor. Also, I have seen too many "yes men/women" who are out for themselves get promoted.

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
