Pros
The only pros are the medical benefits and the unlimited overtime
Cons
This is a glorified call center. I wake up everyday knowing I am going to take hundreds of calls from angry financial advisors and their assistants who are going to take their frustrations out on us lower level people. New accounts handles nearly all of the paperwork for Raymond James. We are forced to “reject” almost all of that paperwork sent in from the financial advisors because none of the assistants or FA’s know how to fill the paperwork out or how the systems work. Therefore, them and their assistants call the line and have very unpleasant conversations with the associates. It is an extremely hostile work environment. I once met a corporate VP in Raymond James and he told me “I wouldn’t wish being in new accounts on my worst enemy”. That’s a pretty big red flag. When I was first hired, I told my supervisor that I wanted to climb the ladder in the company and work my way out of new accounts and get a better job. After 6 months I learned that I was stuck here, and moving to another department was basically impossible. For your own mental health, work somewhere else. You will regret taking this job
