Pros

"Aura" or Barclays brand, but that is all...

Cons

The organization does not function. Mired in bureaucracy, irrational decision making. Gross underinvestment in critical systems and infrastructure coupled with an intransigent administrative approach. Struggling to attract advisors to grow so they make promises that they cannot and do not intend to keep. Every advisor that I spoke to that had been hired in the last yeat was extremely unhappy... miserable in fact.
