Cons
Everything is always 6 months away from being great. The products are behind the competition. There have been major acquisitions and the products will catch up. Advicent knows what the market wants. Its a question of can Advicent execute? Marketing a step behind Private Equity owned. No equity for common employees if there is a liquidity event. Vista will sell Advicent at some point, could be soon There are action plans on the sales team. If you do not hit your numbers you will not make it. Always a couple guys on the team on action plans and at risk of being fired No one on executive team has direct experience being a financial advisor or in a similar position as our market Could make more at other places
