Pros

Employee retirement fund was set up. People were nice. Everyone complained in unison about how terrible the cutbacks were with regard to benefits, perks, and motivation to work there.

Cons

If you're not in NY, you're isolated from any decisions and meeting and are out of the loop entirely. After you leave, you cannot withdraw retirement funds or roll it over elsewhere - EVER.

Pros

Great work life balance, good benefits, decent pay, ease of running your own practice as an “advisor”, and healthy work environment

Cons

Management styles can vary and affect your experience, upper management doesn’t seem to be well equipped to ensure the organization’s success but it is resilient nonetheless.

Pros

Compensation is great for advisors once they are promoted to VP. Everyone else has to wait a year and hope for a good rating that's more of a game than merit based

Cons

Woke culture, reverse discrimination, very frustrating to do business with as a client
