They can't be trusted

Pros

Good compensation, assuming they honor what they say/contract. Smart & hard working people. Most employees want to do the right thing

Cons

CEO Michael Forman and his executive management team cannot be trusted. They are only out to make money for themselves and are very dishonest. Their product fee structure is excessive and they (executive management) are the only ones making money. Their investors are not making money after all the commissions and fees. The organization lacks culture and many of their senior managers are punitive and immature. My advise to anyone considering a job there is to be VERY careful. You can search on-line to see the employees they sued. They bully vendors, employees and industry insiders and constantly say bad things about the the broker dealers they distribute through - which are their clients.

Pros

Seemingly friendly culture with a big (almost exclusive focus) on distribution. Health conscious environment, where every employee gets assigned a physical trainer on premises

Cons

They never reimbursed me for travel expenses incurred while interviewing even though I traveled from out-of-state for the meeting. When I followed up there was little response.

Good for all the wrong reasons

Pros

Nice office, meals provided daily, very robust gym facilities, good community service opportunities.

Cons

Regulations gave killed the industry the firm made its name in, and management simply ignores it or is completely oblivious (I think the former). Hurts morale across the board when they bring in big time execs from outside and it keeps getting worse for the common employee. Firm has made enemies with its former partner (I'm sure there are two sides to this story, but the relationship completely deteriorated in the span of a few years) now that same company is competing in the space and doing very well.
