Pros

If you get in with the right Financial Advisor it can ve an enjoyable job. Many BOAs are extremely dedicated and are treated well. Then there is the other side of the coin. Unfortunately my advisor was arrogant, short tempered, at times somewhat incoherent in explaining things, and very self absorbed. Long time BOAs can also make it difficult to learn as they can feel threatened by new BOAs.

Cons

In my case the Advisor was really a high pressure salesman who put his best interest above that of clients, particularly elderly clients. He did not like to be asked questions and didnt hesitate to exaggerate and literally tell people he could promise them a certain level of return on their investment.

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.
