      Pros

      Flexible work. An opportunity to work.

      Cons

      Managers fail to do their research and promote the best talent. I see top talent that is left to leave the company because of this. Advisors are fresh out of college who were not meeting metrics in their previous role. Therefore, they have no consultative sales skills and fail to sell the service. I'd recommend we hire advisors who can have consultative dialogue and are mature.

      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”.
