Pros

Training good. Great place to get Series 7 & 66. Product offering very soild. Branch set-up unique and suited.

Cons

Timelines for success limited and tight. A numbers game with clients as profit targets are pushed to the hilt. Always seemed under the gun. They watch the numbers day by day, and sit on performance at all cost. You can be gone fast if you are not making your numbers. Firm FAs work scared, and seem very unhappy. Few make it! 85% failure rate before year four. After that it even drops off more. Takes your life away if you let it. Must give it your all as this is a high energy high fail rate environment. No money for years. Lucky to make 30k first year, and 50k may be a dream year two. Not many make big money. Even from those that make three to six years money too low.

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
