Pros

Independence and work-life balance. Reasonable production requirements during bull markets.

Cons

They churn and burn new Financial Advisors. Then distibute your clients to the firms partners. Your production requirements will continue to rise every month even during a market collapse like 2008. If you don't hit the numbers...you're out! Thats tough for a newbie when the market falls by 50% during your four month rolling average production. Also, their Segment Specialists will "help" you with your clients and transfer them out of your office to theirs.

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.
