Pros
Great company with good benefits. You have support all the way around.
Cons
Very lonely position. At times there is nothing to do but sit and it is very hard on your back. There is no one in the office for you to talk to. You can be friendly to the clients, but it is all business. Interview your FA well. I would NOT recommend coming on-board with a new FA when you’re new. They are so focus on money that you get lost and reprimanded for things you didn’t know you were supposed to do. "I don’t know what you don’t tell me". The FAs are fighting to keep or get business in this economy and they are VERY stressed and pass that on to their BOAs. Also, only take this position if you must have a job, don’t take this position if you have a degree, it is a waste of your talent and education and you will be so disappointed.
