Financial Advisor (Wealth Advice Center)
Pros
Great environment to work in and as long as you work hard and hit your goals, no one will bother you about anything. In addition, if you do put in the hours above the regular 9-5, you will be paid out very nicely quarterly and with the end of the year bonus. There is also a very fair salary that comes with the whole package.
Cons
Goals change a lot and certain quarters, they will be much harder to get even if you work 2x as hard as a previous quarter and still not get paid as much. The Wealth Advice Center division is a few years young, so they are still changing compensation structure as each year goes on. It sometimes is unfair, as they have in the past overpaid one team, in a certain quarter, and did not pay the other teams much. What was unfair, was that the goals were made impossible the following quarter, and no one got paid. So in retrospect, about 18 advisors from the Prospect team made 20-25k in one quarter, and overall that much more than other advisors for the year.
