Pros

Nice family atmosphere. At all major events a prayer is said and prayer requests are often taken at company wide meetings. It all depends on what department you are in.

Cons

Unequal treatment of advisors and employees. Some advisors have been let go for a lackluster performance while other advisors can pile up several thousand dollars of negative advisor balances and it is never addressed. The advisors then leave the company and the money is hardly ever collected. The CEO will also many times tell other managers he needs something without taking into consideration what the managers might be working on at the time. The managers then tend to take their frustrations out on the mid-level employees. The company also seems to take it personal when someone leaves for a career decision. The only people I saw leave on good terms were situations when they were having to move when their spouse got another job in another city. In situations when an employee's check might need to be adjusted the employee is not given an advance warning of the adjustment

Pros

Good culture. Small enough company that you can still have input on the future direction, but large enough to provide every resource you need. Have helped many people get into the financial services industry.

Cons

The industry is very hard to break into, but ultimately highly rewarding in the long run. This is an opportunity to build something big long term and not a get rich quick job.
