Pros

Some of the clients were lovely people.

Cons

The interview process was pretty straightforward but the training is inadequate for all the responsibilities and expectations of the role. It takes 2 years in average to get “comfortable” my FA was very unprofessional, super control freak, would blame me for her mistakes, yell ar me while I was on the phone with clients and made the workplace absolute hell. Biggest mistake and would never go back. I lasted 8 months and it was torture. Depends on your FA of course, can be a better experience but still the amount of information you need to learn is insane for what they pay you.

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
