Pros
- Your job changes so much you have no choice but to learn multiple functions - If you can survive the stress, great place to learn a lot and then parlay it into a job ANYWHERE else - Depending on department, genuinely cool people at manager/associate level - Compared to wirehouses, majority of advisors are relatively nice
Cons
- Turnover is insane. Directors and managers quit quite often, resulting in associates becoming directors in practice - Turnover is completely ignored. Instead of working to curb the problem, mgmt simply places nonqualified individuals into elevated positions, those people burn out and it starts the cycle over again - Entire company is focused on new deals. Once deal is closed, could care less to upgrade home office to support the boost in advisors - Truly unsure of company vision. Each department feels completely separated and working towards different goals. I barely know the names of people in other departments
