      Pros

      High income opportunity, challenging and rewarding. Practice holistic financial planning.

      Cons

      Lack of management, support and training that's applicable to real life client situations. Not designed for individuals just starting out in the financial advising industry - more fit for those who are transitioning from another firm

      Pros

      Casual dress and that about it for pros

      Cons

      Started promised 40+ hours a week was lucky to get 20. Training was a disaster. Everyone does something diffent from training manuals provided. Uper management has no clue. We were gave projects with a different trainer for each one. Sometime trained and then retrained after half project was finished.
