Pros

Great training and every time I called the home office there was someone to help me.

Cons

The FA makes it or breaks it. My FA was rarely in the office and I was expected to make all the sales calls. I was told this was not a sales job but that is what I did. If you can find a FA that you can work with as a team I think it would be a good job. The pay is very low for the work you do and the raises are also very low. A $0.35/hour raise is not going to increase your standard of living. The FA gets all the credit and the BOA does all the work. You are a glorified secretary for your BOA. It is very lonely if your office is not a storefront.

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
