Pros

Autonomy. No cap on how much you want to make in earnings. Team environment and support is there.

Cons

Amount and time span of having a salary needs to be adjusted. In certain market areas, it will take the new FA longer to generate a stable amount of gross commissions to survive. If you consider the attrition rate, money spent on training a new FA, providing a more stable salary would be beneficial to the company as a whole. Quarterly decreases in salary in this market is not the solution to lowering the attrition rate.

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.
