Pros

Most of the time you will inherit a book of business. Very conservative mix of investment products to sell. Large company with good benefits.

Cons

Must work two Saturdays per month. Can sell only one life insurance product and no long term care. Must be top producer to have administrative help. High turnover in financial advisor role and no indications that will change anytime soon.

Pros

1. One of the best banks, heavy on tech and AI, that makes my life simple 2. Bonus is consistent every year 3. The company is highly social and multicultural. 4. A lot of training program to upskill and develop.

Cons

1. A lot of administrative items to take care of, a significant portion is spent on meetings, meetings are called to establish an agenda for next meetings, and so on. 2. Layoffs, all year round- sometimes significant, while in the middle of delivery. If your manager is off-site/ another city/country, you are more likely to be impacted. 3. Departments may have skewed gender or racial ratios. It is best to stay away to avoid discrimination (to be fair, this has less to do with culture and more to do with who the head of the department is).
