Pros

Large company with self clearing platform and many selling agreeements and resources

Cons

Poor communication with supervisory compliance groups and lack of response to inquiries to tech support team, 360 service team has long telephone hold times and accuracy of information given to Advisors inconsistent, technology shutdowns are frequent esp on weekends so difficult without system access to conduct client meetings efficiently outside of the normal business hour window. Company has experienced many service breaks since recent NPH Advisor acquisition and change to new platform. Firm has recently lost large hybrid RIA OSJs to competitors. Do not feel valued as an affiliated independent Advisor.

Pros

Great pay and getting OT pay. Awesome team of SMs and RTEs who felt like family and we all wanted to see each other succeed. I was exposed so a lot of situations which strengthened my skill set. Learned the SAFe model and it looks great on resumes. I personally had a great boss, bosses boss, and RTEs.

Cons

Executive leadership is ruining the culture. Many of the amazing Directors, AVPs and RTEs left due to the poor Executive leadership who do NOT know a single thing about Agile principles. Releases are 1x/mo so you have to work one Saturday a month which can sometimes be longer than a normal workday. Release Mgmt team is very difficult to work with and can be very disrespectful. They don’t hide it and it’s accepted. Execs killed remote work.
