      Pros

      UBS is THE premiere wealth management shop on the street. It brings a good brand name and pedigree when marketing for clients. With the amalgamtion of so many prestigeous names, Dillon read, warburg, paine webber, O'Connor you have a wide range of experiences and expertises to cull from for when pitching business to clients. The Global asset management arm i think is second to noe, at least among tied Asset Managers. The compensation is also pretty much on par

      Cons

      The swiss are very risk averse, so you might not get much IPOs if thats your bag. Paine Webber systems are pretty much archaic. too many bolt on applications. Need some more robust.

      Pros

      UBS is a global brand with a huge reach, unfortunately this repuatation has been tainted by a number of issues. The tax issue and the fact that what was once one of the world's greatest banks has been in so many debacles is unthinkable ranging from auction rate securities to the fact that it's spent so much money on recruiting that it couldn't even sell the brokerage unit if it wanted to. It's pretty ridiculous if you think about it.

      Cons

      Management is inflexible and cannot adapt to the changing conditions. Upper management is even worse resulting in the current state of the company

      Pros

      Company size. Brand recognition. Back office support. Research is highly regarded and the pedestrian investor likes to see the company's floor trader appear every morning on CSNBC for market comments.

      Cons

      Until the bigger brokerages discontinue big payouts for producers to cross over, the otherwise highly capable advisor in training will be overlooked for the new advisors with the greatest asset connections. In this context, the favored new advisor is not one who shows the greatest investment intelligence, but the one with the greatest network of high net worth individuals as a engine for asset level increases.
