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
