Business Outlook

Pros

- Solid company culture - New advisor training program - Working on a high performing team where you get revenue sharing opportunities to work with an existing book

Cons

- Too old school, every advisor in the office did barely anything related to financial planning. Mostly just glorified stockbrokers. The company itself seemed to reflect that. No other young advisors. - No direction if not joining a good team - Low pay - Not much help finding new clients - Not a very adaptable company - Outdated technology and software programs - Not a well known firm - Branch managers can be toxic
