Pros

Easy, on the phone initial interview, followed by 2 in person interviewa. They pay for your SIE, Series 7 and Series 66.

Cons

They only pay a stipend while you're getting licensed, no set salary. Compensation is commission based, and the payment structure is a little sketchy - the people above you would make money off of your sales. Career progression within the company is very dull, not many avenues to choose from. The office in general seems very old school, not very conducive to productive work, it's your standard cubicle office with windows only available to executive staff offices.

Pros

They take you to lunch on your first day. Hybrid 2 days in the office, but I'm sure that will increase. The benefits & pay.

Cons

No training at all. You learn by failed case work and what other coworkers tell you. They expect you to do case work you have never processed before. If you fail too many cases, they put it against you and say your quality is bad. Train normally and the quality wouldn't be bad. If you continue to do "bad", they will just put you on phone calls every day to help rude and mean old people. Upwards of 40+ calls daily. They also don't put everyone on phones even though they say being on phones is an essential part of the job. They pick and choose their favorites to do casework and put everyone else on phones daily. Managers are useless and just sit in meetings all day and don't offer help, training, or guidance. Managers also provide snobby remarks when asking for clarification or help and answer back as if you are the dumbest person in the room and act as if you should already know the answer.
