Pros

Great culture for a mid sized broker dealer. Wonderful people to work with on a daily basis. The advisors in the field are great and have built many relationships that I would hate to leave. Fast growing company that has avoided all the pitfalls of other firms. Not overly micro managed. Very entrepreneurial. 14 consecutive years of RECORD revenue. Awesome!!!

Cons

Compensation for home office personnel needs to be fixed now rather than later, because when the economy starts to turn and competitors start to hire, I'm afraid some very talented people may leave. Home office departments are too siloed. No communication. Has lead to unnecessary spending on software, etc. Due to the large growth of the company, many areas are significantly understaffed.

Pros

Stifel is a growing company with a stable history. Despite recent growth, it still has the feel of a small company. Help or answers are usually only a phone call away. Another plus, they did not get caught up in exotic investment instruments. That decision has put this little firm on much better footing than their larger rivals.

Cons

The massive expansion over the last couple years has left some of the sattelite offices out of touch with HQ processes. If you don't know who to call with questions, your search can be hit or miss. Duplication of work is a big risk.
