Pros

Every employee was eligible to receive a bonus based upon company-wide performance as well as invidivudal branch performance. Training and industry education was made available to employees online and managers were required to give staff time during office hours to complete it. Extensive and user-friendly procedural material was availabe online.

Cons

Big Brother always watching. The firm discouraged the use of email even when dealing with other employees or clients. There was little to know room for advancement unless you wanted to move to Missouri (no thanks!). If you wanted to become an FA you had to build your business by soliciting clients door-to-door.

Pros

- Decent benefits programs. - Teammates who cared about the quality of work they provided and the people they worked with. - Direct superiors who were people of integrity that I respect immensely and wish nothing but the best for.

Cons

- Recent removal of remote work for all associates regardless of how long they had worked remotely previously (13 years in my case). This push to onsite work will damage long term profitability and likely cause a mass exodus of talented associates (if it has not already). - Massive amount of offshore outsourcing that has greatly reduced the quality of work at the home office. - Lack of flexibility regarding work schedules that has severely damaged work-life balance.
