Pros

Great benefits, great staff, many advisors are genuinely looking to help.

Cons

individualistic culture. One is not given any leads. One has to develop all business organically from nothing. So join only if you have natural network of at least 30mil for you to succeed after 3 years.

Pros

Good name in the Street, good equity research. It's still a prestigious firm to get your licenses, spend a year there and get out!

Cons

They keep changing the managers! My coach didn't believe in the program, in the lending firm capabilities, in the new rules in the industry....I don't know why they kept him as a coach!! Also, cold call is such a waste of time!! We're not in 1985 anymore!! You will compete with hated robo-callers, nasty sellers...(who likes to receive a pushy cold call??!!)
