Pros

None. Any pros are by far outweighed by the cons. There is some freedom to the work, which is not really freedom at all as you will feel constantly under the gun to produce more revenue and clients.

Cons

To achieve success, you have to be willing to be unscrupulous and somewhat dishonest to clients. You have to sell expensive and under-performing mutual funds. We all know (or should) that index funds are the best solution for the vast majority of clients, but this company will delude you into thinking you are doing right by someone by steering them into something else. Have some respect for yourself and DON'T. Just don't work here, you will end up hating yourself and what you've done to clients.

Pros

- Decent benefits programs. - Teammates who cared about the quality of work they provided and the people they worked with. - Direct superiors who were people of integrity that I respect immensely and wish nothing but the best for.

Cons

- Recent removal of remote work for all associates regardless of how long they had worked remotely previously (13 years in my case). This push to onsite work will damage long term profitability and likely cause a mass exodus of talented associates (if it has not already). - Massive amount of offshore outsourcing that has greatly reduced the quality of work at the home office. - Lack of flexibility regarding work schedules that has severely damaged work-life balance.
