      Only work here if you have an established book, otherwise prepare to fail.

      Pros

      Big well known name, lots of knowledge of stocks, bonds, etc. John Mack seemed very positive and cared for the company.

      Cons

      Company felt too big, no one cared to mentor new trainees. It is a very cutthroat company to work at, unless you know someone already, don't expect to succeed. Be prepared to bring your OWN book to work from.

      Pros

      Morgan Stanley is a strong and good company. Opportunities are there, but because it is so large it is difficult to be small starting out, and you are often lost in the mix. Be very concerned with your branch and its management, because it has a huge impact on whether you will get the resources you need to succeed or not.

      Cons

      You really need mentorship early on, and if you are not in a well organized branch, or if you are in a branch where the branch manager is also in production (i.e., worried about his/her own book of business) you will not get much coaching or supervision.
