Pros

Be your own boss Major Flexibility Great compensation after a few years Independence Great training Great Ethics Operate in independent workspace Really teaches a trainee how to help their clients fully

Cons

Terrible health benefits, if you are looking for this you will not find it here. Terrible salary compared to other financial advisors, especially wire house firms. Your mentor is usually a good distance away, mine was over 2 hours away. If you like to work in a team enviornment this is not the place for you. Overall it is a great company, but not the right fit for everyone.

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
