Pros

Freedom to develope your independent financial practice as you desire. The tools and options are available to create most advisory practice business plans.

Cons

IT and computer systems need to be updated and redesigned to make more user friendly. Charges for technology and systems expensive and less comprehensive then competitors. Most Home office support provided by lower level inexperienced staffers who screen calls and have to get answers from supervisors.

Pros

Competitive pay — Compensation is solid compared to industry averages. • Pockets of good people — There are teams with genuinely decent, hardworking individuals trying to do the right thing. • Occasional bright spots — A few groups operate professionally despite the broader culture.

Cons

Retaliation everywhere — Speak up and you’re targeted. • Fabricated reviews — Feedback is made up to justify punishment. • Toxic cliques — Closed circles run the place and crush anyone outside them. • Hostile leadership — Belittling and aggression are normalized. • Politics over skill — Competence is irrelevant; alliances decide everything. • Fear‑driven culture — Employees stay silent because retaliation is guaranteed. • Hypocrisy everywhere — You’re excluded, then blamed for not being involved. • Values are a façade — The company talks integrity but operates on intimidation.
