Pros

Great sales training to get started in the industry. When I reached out to a GP about struggling to pay my bills despite exceeding my numbers, he reached out to my supervisor to give me a temporary net increase as a percentage of gross. It wasn't much money but it meant a lot and was a big help. Made me feel guilty for leaving later, but in hindsight I made that firm a lot of money so I shouldn't have felt guilty.

Cons

Was lied to by upper management from before hire throughout 3 years of management about what a career looked like. Everyone I respected left to go to other firms. Everyone who stayed at the firm was given assets to manage without having to work like I did. On the other hand when I left I kept 95% of my AUM, and surpassed it in about 18 months.

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
