People Bringing Us Down - Part 1

Fresh out of lower to mid-tier college with non business/finance related study "financial advisors" at large shitty companies (particularly life & home insurance-background chop shops turned into the one-stop for all financial needs, the distuingished but main street full service brokerage firm.

Sounds just up your alley right?? Away from all the hub bub of Wall Street, never'll do business with those hucksters always robbing main street average Americans blind even though I'm not sure exactly how.... but local..yeah, thats the ticket for me. I need to be able to drive past where my money is held to do business with a firm.

Very 'Main Street', just the way I like it.

Culprits: https://www.thrivent.com/ Way to skip the soul stealing, empty, vapid, vampire-like networking opportunities offered by joining a McChurch. Part of the corporate culture here is shaking down prospects at Sunday mass. Don't believe me, check the site there is 'community & chapter info' for all to see. Puke. They should have a mass suicide, at least it would be a good news day.

http://www.nmfn.com/, One of top internships in the country! Been taking advantage of young people so brazenly I can't believe they have continued firm policy for so long. Oh well if its not broke....

note to all potential employees: once they have 'trained' you to sucessfully squeeze every penny into accounts out of your immediate family/friends/neighbors they won't be keeping you. oh, and those contracts, have fees for another persons lifetime or so i'll be 'servicing those accounts', but thanks for playing here's 2k for your hard work of selling our shitty products to anyone who would listen for three months.

oh and don't forget http://www.edwardjones.com/en_US/index.html the door to door prospecting is too classic, I can't believe year after year people continue to sign up for that willingly, I couldnt imagine a larger shaming to yourself and anyone who lists their industry of employment as finance on aggregate than slinging garbagio mainstream fund families ala American Funds that anyone, I mean anyone can buy on their own w/o your "help".
