Pros

- Salary for the first 3 yrs but quickly goes down - Local advisors are very nice and good people

Cons

- The process is really long about 2 months of interviews which you don't get any pay at all for your time. - HQ doesn't care at all about you and will drop you no hesitation once they get what they want. - The local advisors / talent acquisition team will completely ignore you once they get what they want from you. - Do not take CBD oil if you are applying or working there; HQ will drop you like a rock no matter if its legal. They consider it marijuana on drug tests and states yes the proof you give them makes sense but will drop you and cut ties none the less.

Pros

- Had a 100 year successful legacy business model - Financial advisors and staff in field branches have pockets of good cultures

Cons

- Home office culture is horrible and getting worse (cronyism, poor leadership, lack of care/focus for associates) - Regressive HR policies - Senior leaders are disconnected from reality - Consultants running amok - Poor pay and even poorer benefits (unless you are a partner) - Technology introductions and org changes have been botched time and time again - Company is way off course to achieve its long term goals
