Pros

Global company, opportunities abroad, requires a full turn around. A chance to build from the ground up, generally decent people.

Cons

Tenure is privileged over talent, locally, lack of infrastructure investment for decades, managed as a family office, not a financial group.

Pros

The local office had regular team building events. Weekly sales and product training and mentoring. Recognized branding with large broker dealer

Cons

Not very innovative. I needed to go to third party vendors for insurance products which lowered commissions. Very Vast company hard to know where to go to get help
