Pros
The vision and mission statement of the company are followed without fail. The company is growing and trying to adapt to an open market after dominating the closed military market for more than 45 yrs. Though the company is in a state of growth and change, it's still supportive and most worthwhile. The advisors, particularly, are really in a fabulous situation to mold a career for themselves, on their own terms. This is a fabulous opportunity for a young entrepreneurially-minded career person.
Kontras
The downside is that this is a company whose branding isn't highly visible yet. So, there is a bit of a challenge to create the "buzz" already associated with other financial firms. The company is growing and changing, and one who is not able to be highly flexible will not like this career. Also, being in a support role and not in the corporate employ is very limiting. Working for an individual advisor is a challenge, as the financial and career growth opportunities are limited.
