Pros

The company provides flexible work arrangements

Cons

The company has a rigid and comprehensive performance review program that is totally thrown in the garbage when it comes to my group executing it. The company program is designed to be fair and to reward quality work but my group refuses to discuss goals during performance review time and instead reads reviews from 20 or more co-workers who anonymously list their gripes about you. It is more like Jr High cliques where the popular, liked people get ahead. It is appalling and I am one of the popular, liked people!

Pros

Compensation better than average for job. They sponsor your for series 7 exam.

Cons

They were extremely understaffed in the call center. Lack of consistency between managers. Job was temp to hire, but people who had been working there for years told me they had only recently been hired. They said average time to move out of the call center was 1-2 years but many people had been there 3+ without a promotion, and I don't recall meeting anyone who moved up in that short of a time period. Many people said they basically don't want you if you do not become a licensed representative, which they say is optional (but desirable because it is a great opportunity and you make more $$) when you first get hired.

Pros

Decent benefits, friendly enviornment, management is accomodating. Overall good work enviornment. Majority of calls are 401k based and the lack of education of these 401k participants is very alarming/stressfull.

Cons

non stop calls, very limited education and training. NO career advancement from call center.
