Good place to start out; very political though, not a meritocracy

Pros

Either THE biggest, or among the biggest Independent Broker-Dealers/RIAs out there, which enables you to move between roles to see what suits you.

Cons

Very political. Difficult to have access and true mentoring from Senior Compliance Officers since the organization is so large. You also run the risk of getting too specialized in your skill set.

Pros

I worked with great people who had a desire to complete quality work and they were helpful throughout all aspects from training and onward. Good Benefits Work from home 2 times a week Very flexible which is a plus in the 21st century!

Cons

Upper management was like a boys club. Limited pay increase Limited room for growth. (They will help you grow by learning new functions, but will not pay or promote you)

Pros

A lot of helpful resources to find answers to common inbound questions and also procedures. Pretty laid back work environment. Most of the management teams are very easy to speak to, and are very helpful if you need anything. Multiple events throughout the year to encourage positive morale (Ice cream social, holiday parties, health and wellness fair, etc.)

Cons

Communication is not always the best between different departments. Some of the systems have glitches, and periodically break down or are not accessible due to maintenance. If you work in the service department, get used to getting yelled at by the financial advisors, and then getting push back from operations.
