      Pros

      Possibly good if you are new to the business as they believe in a teaming approach. Some good co-workers that are truly helpful and believe in doing what is best for the clients.

      Cons

      I was hired to broaden their investment management space but left after 5 weeks due to to the realization that in order to succeed I would have to sell their extremely expensive proprietary annuities and life insurance. Very insulated culture that is extremely offended by outside opinions and experience. Managing Principal and MFS were arrogant and unhelpful. They preach culture, but are unfriendly to outside ideas. Expectation is that you sell right away (as in first week or two) with no adjustment to their culture or business model. Training is superficial and not organized. De Facto independent contractor as they do not provide computers, and advisor is responsible to pay them "rent" for desk space. Most of office is Series 6 licensed, so not many opportunities for other investments or learning. If you are considering this company be very diligent as they will say anything to get you in the door, but you may have a different experience in reality.

      Pros

      They take you to lunch on your first day. Hybrid 2 days in the office, but I'm sure that will increase. The benefits & pay.

      Cons

      No training at all. You learn by failed case work and what other coworkers tell you. They expect you to do case work you have never processed before. If you fail too many cases, they put it against you and say your quality is bad. Train normally and the quality wouldn't be bad. If you continue to do "bad", they will just put you on phone calls every day to help rude and mean old people. Upwards of 40+ calls daily. They also don't put everyone on phones even though they say being on phones is an essential part of the job. They pick and choose their favorites to do casework and put everyone else on phones daily. Managers are useless and just sit in meetings all day and don't offer help, training, or guidance. Managers also provide snobby remarks when asking for clarification or help and answer back as if you are the dumbest person in the room and act as if you should already know the answer.
