Pros

On Site Gym Cafeteria is nice 401k Match (Altough it's a five year vesting schedule, you won't make it five years so you get a percentage of the match which makes in no better than anywhere else) Coworkers are all in the same boat as you and I liked everyone I worked with. Low-level management is nice in my experience, however there are some bad apples.

Cons

Shortlist: Salary worst in the industry This position is the lowest on the totem pole, the positions above it are the same job with slightly better pay. Overtime. Everyday. If you use any PTO that week overtime is 1.0x pay not 1.5x. It is back-to-back phone calls. Two 15 minute breaks and a 30 minute lunch. Usually you work 9-10 hour days on top of that. Expect 60-80 calls a day, you could hit 100 if you didn't blow your brains out first. Decent amount of PTO but they changed how you can use it, so it has to be scheduled way in advance. Very old technology, makes your job harder and angers clients. Advancement takes forever, if you even get the opportunity. I'm very disappointed in myself for working here. The company is very unethical and is a waste of your career. The licenses you receive are irrelevant to the industry and are used for retention. This job is on the 401k side. You will not be able to speak to the same person again, take any clients with you, or gain any licenses relevant to the industry (you can get the Seires 7 if you're there long enough, but not worth the wait and they SEVERLY under pay you for it). IF you must work here work for the IRA side (personal investing) however Charles Schwab, Fidelity, Edward Jones, and LPL all have WAY better programs.

Pros

The peers I had were, for the most part, fantastic and intelligent. They help when they can and help offer different ideas for client solutions especially regarding cross year situations. Leadership is nice (as people) and are genuinely enjoyable to talk to.

Cons

Leadership are not transparent very often if at all, they promote toxic positivity, and will do whatever the Department Manager wants. They will let certain associates work remotely but not try and work with others to allow them the same courtesy (with regards to health and military situations). They do not seem to want to listen to their associates and only hear what they want vs what they need. Some associates will ask the same questions repeatedly without trying to learn the information and if it is brought up, nothing changes.
