Pros

The people and lower/mid-level management were great. The benefits, pay and time off were great.

Cons

Even though you have tons of time off, whether you can schedule it is a constant worry. Time off is basically a round-robin system that favors no one and ultimately benefits no one. Constant required overtime and half hour lunches. Internal job prospects are few and far between. Lack of recognition for top performers. The fact that they won't sponser a series 7 for every client facing employee is a disservice and major flaw. Management says that the call centers are the best place to hire internally from, yet they seldom do.

Pros

Great work life balance, good benefits, decent pay, ease of running your own practice as an “advisor”, and healthy work environment

Cons

Management styles can vary and affect your experience, upper management doesn’t seem to be well equipped to ensure the organization’s success but it is resilient nonetheless.

Pros

Compensation is great for advisors once they are promoted to VP. Everyone else has to wait a year and hope for a good rating that's more of a game than merit based

Cons

Woke culture, reverse discrimination, very frustrating to do business with as a client
