political and unfriendly working environment - Anonymous employee Merrill Employee Review

Great place to work as a advisor.

Its hard work and requires alot of time.

Its a great place to start your career. Easy to get in. Work life balance is nice.

Hard to build a book since that's not a priority to them. Limited product. No support system/training. Technology is so behind compare to others firm. Everything is number, as you progress your goals go up and you get pay less for more work. You will have to do banking checking/saving. The bankers isn't license so they have no clue and they're not paid enough to try. Bank manager usually doesn't have any sales experience.
