Pros

Direct client contact, flexible hours, generous benefits, learning and career advancement opportunities.

Cons

Small office setting (2 people), Silo 1: The Firm vs The Branch, Silo 2: The Financial Advisor vs The Branch Office Administrator. There is a level of distrust between the FA & the BOA; is it caused by the difference in wage earning (hourly BOA vs commission/fees FA)? Is it caused by difference in licensing (Lic'g Req'd for FA vs not req'd for BOA)? Is it caused by level of control of branch operations and business plans (BOA contributes but is not a full 'partner' in the branch)?

Pros

My direct leadership and colleagues.

Cons

Absolutely horrible company, please do not work here. Employees are basically just cattle to them, and treated terribly. Internal politics and favoritism lead to mistreatment of great employees, and obsession with return to office has turned this company into a nightmare to work for. Layoffs are unnecessary, and leaves understaffed in critical areas, but we are still expected to meet the same deadlines. All the company wants is to find ridiculous ways to save money like switching to off shore resources, layoffs and unnecessary reorganization. Upper leadership doesn't listen to employees at all, we are punished even when we tell them something cannot be done.
