Pros

The firm is number 1 or 2 in most of the businesses in which it operates, giving its employees access to the most sophisticated clients,significant deal flow and unmatched internal resources.

Cons

The downsides are well publicized: a behemoth of 250,000 people sometimes uncoordinated, sometime competing against each other, and (so far) lacking the internal risk control necessary to keep our heads above water when things get tough.

Pros

If you're the kind of person who doesn't mind selling an 85-year-old widow an annuity with a 10-year surrender charge, then this is the job for you.

Cons

Management is stuck in the 1970s, crowing about the benefits of their experience in "the Lehman System" of cranking out calls, following the time zones and "gathering the assets." Of course, there's little regard for what happens to clients because you're just supposed to focus on "assets and account." In today's highly competitive market where clients can get many of the services provided by financial advisors on the internet, you need to focus on giving clients the benefits of working with you and only you--that takes time, and it's a relationship that isn't going to start with a dinnertime cold call. Sadly, unless companies like this change, they're going to go the way of the dinosaurs which, by the way, is what many people call management.
