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.

Pros

Autonomy, resources, finanancial opportunity and people.

Cons

Navigating through enormous amount of available research data, analysis. Information systems provide access to a wealth of information but user interface is far from user-friendly and can be downright frustrating.
