Pros

You will learn a lot and gain valuable experience.

Cons

They are all brain washed and only want drones that follow what they say/do. You become ostracized once you start thinking on your own. The hiring for financial advisors is dangerously close to a pyramid scheme. At every meeting, the mission & vision statements are reviewed and during normal conversation the firm’s tag line is repeated, constantly. Also, the health benefits for advisors are horrible unless you’re single and never see a medical professional.

Pros

- Decent benefits programs. - Teammates who cared about the quality of work they provided and the people they worked with. - Direct superiors who were people of integrity that I respect immensely and wish nothing but the best for.

Cons

- Recent removal of remote work for all associates regardless of how long they had worked remotely previously (13 years in my case). This push to onsite work will damage long term profitability and likely cause a mass exodus of talented associates (if it has not already). - Massive amount of offshore outsourcing that has greatly reduced the quality of work at the home office. - Lack of flexibility regarding work schedules that has severely damaged work-life balance.
