Pros

You may have a shot at getting some leads, but only if the bankers decide you're worthy

Cons

Compliance controls everything. And, they don't even train worth a crap. Paperwork galore, ZERO support, and no way to effectively service your clients. This may have been the worst experience I have ever had as a financial advisor. Most leadership just happened to be in the right place at the right time. When leaders with barely any brokerage experience are promoted, it's time to consider a new firm. BancWest take the cake as the worst ever

Pros

Coworkers and managers all work well together and are understanding specifically when it comes to knowing some situations are more complicated than others and may take more time. Metrics are not extremely strict regardless of situation like you might see at a TD Ameritrade type corporation

Cons

Corporate/higher up managers, not understanding needs or filling them

Pros

Financial Consultant career with BancWest Investment Service provides a good outlet to gain experience in the Financial Planning sector. They will provide assistance to become licensed and pair you with an experienced Financial Advisor before you become a Financial Advisor. They are leniant at first with sales goals but you will receive feedback if you are grossly under producing. Commission payout are competitive.

Cons

Upward mobility is limited because many territories have established advisors. The territories that do become available usually are in lower producing areas. Salaried positions usually pay lower than competitors.
