A great opportunity with a lot of hands on experience and an honest caring company. - Server Administrator SWS Group Employee Review

Good support for brokers and good payouts

outdated technology and not able to charge for financial planning

Downtown location Casual environment Great help desk -they do the most with what they have to work with

Where to start...firm software is so bad only 1 other firm in the country uses it. Inadequate to say the least. Never worked for a company so poor at communicating. The company is always teetering on going under. Rarely profitable but when they are the money goes to FINRA. The firm racks up SEC/Finra violations like you wouldnt believe. The real problem with SWS is management. Most of the managers started their careers with SWS so they have no clue how other firms work. Give a suggestion to improve a process is met with a blank star followed by 'thats not my job'. No one will take responsibility-pass the buck and lay low. Rock the boat and they get rid of you.
