Pros

Vision is excellent and commitment to meeting goals is consistent and tech stack is outstanding for advisors.

Lower level advisor acquisitions don’t always get the most support until they hit a min AUM.

Pros

The company invests in technology; the basics work well. Most of my peers were incredible. Best physical office I have been in to date.

Cons

Demanded 60 hour weeks; Try to squeeze 2 years of development in 8 months. A culture of "no bad news". Culture of fear and retaliation is tolerated. Easily the worst upper management I have ever seen or been a part of. I got a call on a Sunday while at lunch with my elderly father to join a meeting. Mistakes are not tolerated and lead to firings. Addicted to having everyone working mandatory 12-hour days on a single floor as a way of success - while ignoring that people have families and lives. I had direct reports who left because of mental health. Burning through people is easy and shows zero talent to manage.
