Pros

Some advisors are very intelligent and fun to work with. Learned plenty from those who have built solid books. Work-life balance is what you make of it; plenty of people mess around the entire day while others who focus on doing real work leave on time.

Cons

Extremely political, way too much power given to those who have no business managing people. Management turns a blind eye to employee turnover. Plenty of fancy titles to go around in corporate but no work of practical value to show for it.

Pros

THL is in the game now so surely they will be able to "fix" all that ails...or on second thought, if you are a potential employee or firm considering HighTower, I recommend that you go in another direction or you'll regret it.

Cons

Corporate hates the crybaby advisor teams, the advisor teams despise the disinterested Corporate employees. Disjointed, disorganized, confused mess of a firm. Corporate loves to ask for feedback from the gullible advisor teams but really decisions, products, etc have already been decided on.
