Pros

The benefits are great. It depends where you work in the firm. Some areas are much better than others.

Cons

A large, bloated, slow-moving bureaucracy. In many ways, its "The Truman Show", like a company stuck in the 1970s. If you can tolerate a stale corporate culture that talks a good game about progress but then doesn't do much about it, you'll fit right in.

Pros

Great work life balance, good benefits, decent pay, ease of running your own practice as an “advisor”, and healthy work environment

Cons

Management styles can vary and affect your experience, upper management doesn’t seem to be well equipped to ensure the organization’s success but it is resilient nonetheless.

Pros

Compensation is great for advisors once they are promoted to VP. Everyone else has to wait a year and hope for a good rating that's more of a game than merit based

Cons

Woke culture, reverse discrimination, very frustrating to do business with as a client
