Pros

Health insurance and employee benefits. Hourly staffs are hard workers.

Cons

Recruiting staffs are not qualified enough to master hiring process in-house. In addition, pay raises are rare. There is always a change in executive vision at Corporate (NY); so filtering vision and mission down to DFW firm level results to zero directions and lack of support to Financial advisors to run their business. Financial products and life insurance products are old school mentality still. Marketing support to Financial advisors are limited since Corporate killed off all Marketing Division across the board nationally. As a result to all, low employee morale and office culture is non-existence.

Pros

Pleasant surroundings, decent salaries, and good resources to learn on line.

Cons

With the new CEO, senior staff is being forced out. There's a great loss of institutional history. Strategy seems to be only on short term stock price. It's not the same company that was known for true expertise. A lot of that is gone.

Pros

1) Good salary, 2) talented associates, 3) challenging work

Cons

1) US Relocation has killed morale and decreased historical perspectives 2) Worklife balance is being impacted by trend to take WFH options away and is further impacted by long hours and limitless to-dos. 3) Constant change, both in strategy/vision and in organizational structure. Seems to change constantly.
