Pros
Great learning environment. Working with ultra high net worth clients will expose you to every facet of the investment universe. Colleagues are highly motivated professionals with upper level designations like CFPs or CFAs.
Kontras
They higher young workers who are willing to work at a lower salary with the promise of bonuses and salary increases. Management regularly finds a way to provide these incentives to the top producing advisors, but the employees doing the leg work are often overlooked. The company is also owned by SunTrust Bank who will reduce staff at GenSpring when their overall profits are low. It's also difficult to be promoted without earning a designation. They don't pay for your higher education either which places the burden on the employee.
