Pros

The BOA really do come together to help each other out. BOA look out for each other and older/senior BOA's will mentor younger/new BOAs which is EXTREMELY helpful.

Cons

The job of a BOA is a $60k/year job, while most get paid $40k. You really spend a lot of time cold calling (if your FA needs more clients/households) and often you are held responsible if a certain number isn't achieved. A lot of times the BOA is the one running the office while the FA has out of office meetings or only comes in if they are expected to meet with a client.

Pros

They have allowed the HBA’s (home based associates) to remain remote

Cons

Micromanagers, they say they are okay if you want to apply to another department within the firm but the minute you do it’s like you get a target on your back. The pay doesn’t match the workload and the word is that you have to quit and then come back to make what you should already be getting paid. Benefits are terrible but 401k is pretty good
