Pros

Great to meet other individuals fresh out of college to build a network. They pay you to get your licenses (series 7 and 63) Decent worklife balance

Cons

Environment is not conducive to collaboration. CALL CENTER Just a cog in a the huge corporate machine. The job wears on you and you can take it home with you.

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”.
