Great work life balance, good benefits, decent pay, ease of running your own practice as an “advisor”, and healthy work environment

Pros

Compensation is great for advisors once they are promoted to VP. Everyone else has to wait a year and hope for a good rating that's more of a game than merit based

Cons

Woke culture, reverse discrimination, very frustrating to do business with as a client
