Pros

Good place to start- has an initial salary while learning

Cons

success is dependent on playing the game their way- don't try to open up brokerage or wealth management accounts- everything is geared towards selling their proprietary products, including your pay. the company is downsizing and combining firms so there is lots of upheaval.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
