Cons

The reasons are valid to improve the client experience but the shifts in focus can be tiring - Conservative in trading - platform is not built for day traders which limits the client experience and crew knowledge on competitors - Difficult for crew to get time off around holidays/busy season since it's based off capacity and volumes in the call center - Lots of moving parts within policies - can be tough to find the right procedure or the right person to help sometimes
