Freedom to develope your independent financial practice as you desire. The tools and options are available to create most advisory practice business plans.

Management culture views employees as quickly replaceable

Senior vice president

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Location Better than unemployment Sweat shop = overtime

Cons

Executive management is on a mission to replace every american job with an outsourced Indian job for lower cost. The management speaks of respecting and valuing talent but act in complete opposites No strategy is followed longer than a year Constant restructuring without following details. Some folks spend months not knowing who their manager is just to finally find out when being told about the "New - new - now really new" restructure!!
