Pros

The FACD program allows recent grads to cold call, door knock and role play all while in training. Future advisors also get to work in head office departments to learn more about the company and expectations.

Cons

Some days are long and sometimes the assignments seem unrelated to advising, but looking at the big picture helps.

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
