Pros

The culture is amazing. There are several events and programs that encourage employee growth, charitable events and just plain fun (ask someone about Halloween). Some of the most flexible and understanding managers I've ever worked for. Very stable even without comparing them to other businesses in the industry. They are very conservative in decision-making in order to control and maintain growth.

Cons

All that said, there is very little pay in any career paths that don't directly involve trading. For some, the cultural and non-monetary compensations stop making up for the gap in pay with respect the responsibilities they are asked to take on. Promotions are also done only once a year - so it's easy to be doing the work of a position for most of a year and not be paid for it until December. And even then, if the pool of budgeted money runs out, you could be waiting another year. I've also seen a failure to deliver on reimbursement for continuing education, even when it directly applies to the position.

Pros

I am a member of a RIA so the Pro of working for RJ are hard. The only access i have is the systems and back office. A few items that i enjoy, 1. The form number system easy to use and it works. 2. Docusign. RJ uses Docusign for as much as they can and even prefer to use DocuSign. Created a lot of proessing around it.

Cons

things that need improvment and change. 1. Client Associates have no abilty to process almost anything. Nearly every task needs to be offloaded to the call centers. who frequently make mistakes. example: moving shares between same name accounts. processing divorce, Death. ect. 2. mistakes they happen. If a single box isnt checks RJ will require a brand new form and leave you out to dry. but if the back office messes up I am left to clean it all up. 3. getting correct infromation. We are provided numebers to call if we have questions. The issue is you need to make it a habit to call three or 4 times to ensure you are getting the correct information. 4. Technolgy. The Tech here is so outdated the CRM is next to useless and the client access online is difficult to use and in my opinion is behind the industy standard. 5. Training, There is almost no training to be heard of. I was provided a few tools when i was hired but, there were outdated and next to no help.
