Pros

Good training, home office support is good, benefits are ok

Cons

Many Financial Advisors need to be trained in how to work with their BOAs. My FA was new and had no idea what my responsibilities vs his should be. He kept piling things on to me that were not appropriate (per my conversations with other offices and even the home office). Then he would become irate when I tried to tell him those were not my duties and sometimes not even legal for me to do. Salary is not commensurate with the amount of work you will be asked to do. You will hear lots about bonuses to be shared with the FA but that is at his discretion. If your FA is new or just stingy you will not see much for all the extra work you do to build THEIR business.

Pros

They have allowed the HBA’s (home based associates) to remain remote

Cons

Micromanagers, they say they are okay if you want to apply to another department within the firm but the minute you do it’s like you get a target on your back. The pay doesn’t match the workload and the word is that you have to quit and then come back to make what you should already be getting paid. Benefits are terrible but 401k is pretty good
