Pros
Great support, training, culture and family-like office environment. They have the resources and structure to allow advisors like myself to grow their practices to new levels as well as bring newer advisors into the industry with an excellent training program. Ability to help generate leads and identify key markets has been a huge help. Technology and back office support has been better than expected. Compensation and benefits are very competitive. Rare to find a company that focuses on its employees before its bottom line.
Cons
Financial services can be a tough industry at times, but that's the case regardless of the company. Right training and support helps tremendously.
