Pros

A sinking ship is better than open water

Cons

If you love innovative financial products that make sense, well… this probably wasn’t the firm for you. Watching leadership roll out new offerings was like watching someone try to reinvent the wheel, except the wheel was square and somehow on fire. The only thing the funds are beating is employee morale. This firm is like the Backstreet Boys- peaked around 1999, and is on tour playing concerts in the parking lot behind a Chili's, except there's no free chips and salsa.
