Pros

Their training program is second to none. They literally wrote the book on recruiting. When I was there, training lasted 6 weeks and it was 6 of the most miserable weeks of my life. Think of it as a recruiting boot camp. They are trying to weed out the weak. I recruited for 2+ years before starting at KBIC and I could truly say that it wasn't until KBIC that I learned how to recruit.

Cons

No one makes a lot of money their first year and few will make enough to even make ends meat, so don't believe their lies and sales pitches. If you're good, you may start to make some money by your 3rd year. Aside from the money, or lack there of... Think of the worst micromanagement that you have worked under or heard about and times that by 25. That's KBIC.

Pros

Amazing upper management, extremely supportive of mental health, positive environment. You have the ability to control your own destiny. You just have to ask. I could not ask for a better place to work and will not ever be leaving.

Cons

None - they have a handle on everything

Pros

co-workers were great. Location was amazing.

Cons

No work-life balance at all. Partners expected a lot out of their associates without actually putting in the work themselves.
