Pros

Assigned various different projects over the course of the summer. Had the ability to work on my own with little oversight.

Cons

Extensive amount of corporate hierarchy. This got ridiculous at times. Too many rules and procedures, even for something as simple as requesting that a particular software be installed on my workstation.

Pros

Good sales training, management will help, you have all the tools and resources you need to succeed. Good company and name.

Cons

There is no base salary, so if you have a dry spell of luck, there is no one to blame but yourself.

Pros

Great brand for honesty and integrity. Snoopy. Good visability with the blimp. Good risk management. Great educational capabilities and product education. Reinforces good ethics and compliance.

Cons

High expenses. Payouts lowering. Pay to 'play' for everything. Compliance is extremely important in this litigious society; that said, should not be 'sales prevention unit'. Just coming into the next century re: securities and full service financial management. Has it's own parameters for these achievements which reinforce 'favorites' and stifle participation and advancement within. Encouragement of using 'natural market' to start career and then drop you for other 'newbies'.
