Pros

Staff truly puts the best interests of clients first. Act in a fiduciary setting. Work-life balance was very good.

Cons

Home office fired productive workers once they completed certain tasks. Claim to be focused on growing, but staff rarely focuses on meeting with new potential clients. During my time at my home office, we only gained one small client. Potential FINRA violations that happened during my time. Spent more time trying to internet outages than actual work projects. Limited to no growth. The position you're originally hired in is the position is the position you'll stay in. Management set unrealistic goals and never got close to meeting them.

Pros

Hightower swag is amazing & pretty good benefits.

Cons

Everything. Toxic culture, information hoarding, no onboarding process AT ALL. People only talk about things verbally and never document those conversations/ meetings so no one is ever held accountable for anything so simple tasks end up taking you 3x as long. the C*O hired all his old work pals as his directs. Nothing is automated, not kidding they use software that’d be considered outdated 5 years ago. It’s insane. If you want a job where you’ll become so stressed you can’t poop, come be complacent here!
