Pros

- Friendly workforce in general - Work life balance is mostly manageable

Cons

- High turnover of mid level staff due to persistent mis-selling of roles. Most arrive to find they have taken a significant backwards step in their career. - Junior staff typically don’t stay long given most are overqualified for the admin work they are tasked with. Longer service tends to be in regional offices with fewer competitors locally. - Salary below market and influenced by myriad of other departments, from NY HQ down. - Business model and revenue likely to be threatened as technology and data advancements continue, could be left behind as competitors improve. Reliance on existing client base.
