Pros

Good benefits. Offices are nice. Company cafeteria.

Cons

Horrible management. Cronyism and nepotism are more important than competence. Morale is low because most people know you are judged more on sucking up to management than on job performance. Managers are teflon coated and can blame all problems on subordinates and senior management doesn't care enough to investigate causes of poor performance. Serious ethics problems throughout the firm.

Pros

Very minimal pros- you are working in a call center under managers with very little experience.

Cons

Managers are useless. The greater organization refers to the Wealth Advice Center as the “WAC”… yes…. wack. It has a double meaning and the advisors on the ultra high net worth teams are known to make fun of this call center. Very unserious role.
