Pros

Very flexible schedule. Company and management really does care about you as a person. Culture is very strong and very customer focused. Unlimited potential for the right person with the right drive.

Cons

Very tough business. Business model of door knocking is a little outdated. Working in one man office can be very lonely, especially when market is not performing as it should like the 2008-2009 time period. Advisors can quickly burn out if they don't figure out other ways of generating clients.

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
