Pros
Worked with some great team members. Some systems are very efficient!
Cons
Terrible management to say the least ( This varies with every branch) Sales pressure that’s very unethical! You will be forced to sell mutual funds even when it’s not suitable for clients. They put the company first instead of clients. (e.g. explaining to management why you didn’t sell mutual funds to a 71 year old client who has never had mutual funds in his life, very conservative client who has health concerns & not sure if he’ll make it to a 1-year maturity of a GIC) If you are a genuine advisor who want to build long lasting relationships with your clients, this might not be a place for you. You will be pushed to do questionable things. You will be micromanaged, you might end up getting actual PTSD.
