Pros
Amazing pay for start of career. Good training for fundamental concepts but once this is established not a place for creative concepts and independent thinking. Management wants you to ask same questions and run same exact process on every single client regardless of situation.
Cons
Middle management doesn’t care about clients and relationships. This is strictly a sales role and very minimally a planning role. I think if upper management knew how investor centers were being run and how churning clients and quick selling was being pushed they would be disturbed. Clients usually sell out of managed money within 5 years bc they were falsely sold, they’ve had advisor turnover once or twice in that timeframe, and managed accounts underperform their own asset manager funds. If you want a real financial planning career go to an RIA after 1-2 years in this role
