Pros

Good place to gain experience and learn about personal finance

Cons

Aggressive sales targets that are met with consequences if you don't meet them consistently. Cold calling is a daily part of the role. Minimal financial training outside of the banks products so you'll never have a holistic or deeply detailed understanding of finances but will have to advise clients

Pros

The NY location is close to Grand Central Station

Cons

Slow Canadian culture that finds it challenging to meet US regulatory standards. Executives play favorites and gaslight employees, if you voice your opinion, they either silence you or try to manage you out with exaggerated "performance issues"
