Pros
For second acts and self-starters this is possibly the best of the big wire houses. They do not lead you by the hand so have a well developed sense of how you will build your business from day one. They are fair in compensation and benefits.
Cons
Its a tough business without great credentials and its still tough. Smith Barney does not had you any business or a starter book of clients. Its all up to you. Other firms do seed new advisors.
