Pros

Training, co-workers bend over backwards to help out new advisors.

Cons

Build client base by going door-to-door. First performance benchmark is at four months. If not met, termination of employment is a real possibility. 14 hours days (10 on weekend) expected of new advisors. Selling front-end loaded mutual funds (5.75%) difficult when many superior no-load funds are available.

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
