Pros

Decent benefits but not exceptional; easy to be hired if you have people skills and a little common sense.

Cons

With only a year on the job training you are expected to essentially be an office manager - sometimes that is a good thing, sometimes not. If you end up working with an FA who is ethical, fair and treats you as an equal than it can be a great working environment. If you end up with an FA who is not, then my advice is to tolerate the situation the best you can and GET OUT OF THERE AS FAST AS YOU CAN. At all costs avoid getting HR involved - they are trained to side with the FAs, aka, business producers. You are secondary and replaceable, hence that is why it is so easy to get hired with little or no experience. HR will make you think they are on your side but only in matters that are clearly against the law (sexual harassment, for example) they will not and cannot make the FA treat you well.

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.
