Pros

Good atmosphere among support staff. If paired with the right financial advisor or team it can be a very enjoyable work environment.

Cons

No upside of getting out of being a CSA. Unattractive opportunities are presented. CSAs don't get promoted regularly to anything and it's not possible to move around the bank as a whole (i.e. out of WM and into GAM or IB). Management overly concerned with FA production and revenue to care about support staff goals.
