"I've worked for Merrill Lynch as a Financial Advisor for over a now and while the job can be rewarding and my employees were excellent to work alongside, supervisors and upper management liked to micromanage to force results. In a career that empowers individuals to build and manage their own book of business, it leaves little room for deviation from their view of success."
