Pros

Solid respectable company, good training and support within the region and from Corporate. You can make lots of money, if you can survive long enough during the first few years to make it. If you are placed in a location and office with sufficient starting resources, you move up quickly, otherwise, very hard to make it.

Cons

Pay is extremely low for the first few years. Be prepared to either live off of your savings or have a spouse that makes decent money until your branch is big enough. They have increased salary plans for the first two years, but they go down incrementally over time, plus the pay plan that you are told about when hired, only applies if you are able to cross every 'T' and dot every "I". In other words, many workers will not see a lot of the salary that is promised.

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
