Pros
Senior Management are very good and kind hearted people. Rare to find in the finance industry. I would highly recommend anybody who wants to make money and stay away from dark parts of this industry to work here.
Cons
Not many cons I can think of. You have to be a principled and honest person to work here. IT also means that if you are somebody that is dishonest as you find in the finance field this may not be the place for you.
Advice to Management
Keep up the great direction and good words even when times are bad. Thank you for the continual support and encouragement and for showing me how to do things the right way.

World wide company opportunity to work with other countries. Worldwide office precense. Great IFA. Smooth UK Pensions transfer. Oscar Winson had the most efficient teams to track and transfer UK pensions

Financial Consultant is a hard job. Requires an outstanding personality. Need to learn a lot of clodu based technology.
Advice to Management
Give more IT training and give awareness of the cloud based nature of the job so older conssultants are a bit more aware

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookI worked at Oscar Winson for less than a year
Pros
Not very many. I have to put in 20 words so the only positive I have is that the coworkers were very friendly and fun.
Cons
Did absolutely nothing but cold call for 9 hours a day. It was exhausting and demeaning and they need to figure out a more effective means of obtaining new clients.
Advice to Management
Don't just use college students from CRCC to slave away and cold call all day. Also don't tell new hires to watch wolf of Wall Street and boiler room to gain confidence. That only gave me a very sketchy feeling about the entire company.
