Pros

Great Training. Most companies don’t give a decent base salary and are more commission heavy starting out. Flexibility. Good support from many FAs. Local company feel with big company support.

Cons

Door knocking is inefficient but effective. You can get burnt out quick. People with a large network of friends and family ready to invest would benefit the most. The services are expensive and that’s why many prospect don’t join. The overall business is tough, not specific to company. Technology is old school. You are selling more expensive services / products relative to other companies.

Pros

They have allowed the HBA’s (home based associates) to remain remote

Cons

Micromanagers, they say they are okay if you want to apply to another department within the firm but the minute you do it’s like you get a target on your back. The pay doesn’t match the workload and the word is that you have to quit and then come back to make what you should already be getting paid. Benefits are terrible but 401k is pretty good
