Business outlook
Pros
Plenty of opportunity to grow the brand/business in the USA. Money being spent on the Barclays Wealth business. Firm will write big checks to attract top producers. High payouts. Small investment management group with a lot of access to key decision makers and senior resources. A few very smart and impressive people if you are willing to look for them.
Cons
Borderline incompetent management hired from ML making very retail decisions. Investment platform is incomplete and incredibly slow to develop. Technology systems are antiquated. The internal culture is poisonous and much of the support staff is non-responsive or diligent. Those with the opportunity to go elsewhere almost always do.
