Pros

Great place to get yourself licensed. They used Kaplan which I found to be very helpful in their test prep to get you licensed. During licensing, you dedicate all of your time to licensing. Great place to build up work experience. Company culture overall is not bad, however they do not seem to live it so much as speak it, especially when it comes to respect (unless you are a select banker).

Cons

Select bankers can do whatever they want, and you will be forced to pick up the slack as well as refer high net worth clients. Basically, your hard work is getting them paid. Because of the select program, it makes it a bit harder to develop yourself when you are in a select branch, due to many high network clients being referrals you are expected to give to the select banker. Make sure to get any employment promises in writing!! They will promise you bonuses that do not actually exist, at least that was what my recruiter did, and completely denied that she said what she did. You are not respected if you are not a select banker, you will be expected to do all the maintenance, while referring any big business to the select banker, but you are still supposed to meet unrealistic goals (without access to high net worth clients).
