Pros

Great brand for honesty and integrity. Snoopy. Good visability with the blimp. Good risk management. Great educational capabilities and product education. Reinforces good ethics and compliance.

Cons

High expenses. Payouts lowering. Pay to 'play' for everything. Compliance is extremely important in this litigious society; that said, should not be 'sales prevention unit'. Just coming into the next century re: securities and full service financial management. Has it's own parameters for these achievements which reinforce 'favorites' and stifle participation and advancement within. Encouragement of using 'natural market' to start career and then drop you for other 'newbies'.
