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.

Pros

UBS has good benefits and training. Healthcare benefits are offered on the first day of employment. The networking is also a major benefit; if you enjoy attending numerous functions.

Cons

A balance between work and life do not exist. Management will sell you on the idea that schedules are flexible, but performance goals are unrealistic. Watch the Enron trading documentary and you will see how UBS operates. The biggest downside is the amount of cold calling that is emphasized. If you do not like cold calling stay away from this type of work. Most managers climbed the ladder during the 90's when cold calling was effective and people wanted to hear about the latest Wall Street concoction. Today, nobody wants to take a brokers call especially for risky products that get you paid.
