Pros

Great pedigree Great analytical market research Benefits were ok Some of the sales skill taught were useful but most were a waste of time

Cons

This place was churn city, they would take in new FA's and have them bring in all their friends and families money. Once there they would place unbelievably hard asset goals, knowing that just starting out it is nearly impossible to meet the minimum assets under management and then fire the new hire after 10 months, keeping the accounts and distributing them to te top brokers in the office. Pay was not adjusted to locality and was almost impossible to live on the salary given while trying to obtain critical mass in assets.

Pros

Respected Institution that provides a difficult interview process to gain admittance to the analyst or associate programs. Worth the headache to get into the sales or trading seats.

Cons

Inability to effect change in the day to day of the desk and group you work in because of top-heavy setup.
