Pros

Compensation used to be pretty good. Now that subprime losses are a regular occurrence, that probably won't be for much longer. If you work in a profit center, you get treated pretty well. If you work in a cost center though, you are just a burden and are treated like one.

Cons

Management do not trust the employees. Micromanagement is rife. Management are so focused in cost saving, nothing is getting done as everything is over analyzed. Don't expect a 9-5 job. People are expected to be available almost 24/7. If you don't, be prepared to be looked at like you are lazy.

Pros

Very minimal pros- you are working in a call center under managers with very little experience.

Cons

Managers are useless. The greater organization refers to the Wealth Advice Center as the “WAC”… yes…. wack. It has a double meaning and the advisors on the ultra high net worth teams are known to make fun of this call center. Very unserious role.
