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.

Open culture, growth opportunities - especially outside of the US

Long-term outlook "okay".

Business Outlook

Pros

In current environment, not likely anyone will by the investment bank, so as a company less worry of mass layoffs due to merger (once "final" round of layoffs are complete). Still has strong equities, tech IBD areas. If you live in southern CT, it's nice to live near work.

Cons

Slow decision making, very bureaucratic. Outside of core areas (front office, IBD) or key enabling functions (finance, risk) limited career options, esp. difficult to move across functional areas.
