hi, I’m graduating with a degree in finance in a couple of weeks, and have secured an offer at Ameriprise. I was excited at first but got to reading up on quality of life there and am having second thoughts. I know one guy who made 100+ his first year but quit because he couldn’t stand the schedule and other things.



I have seen a bunch about ed jones on here but not ameriprise. can anyone recommend or advise against it?



thanks

"Quality of Life" is earned not given.   To be successful in any endeavor, you must be willing to pay a price.   It sounds as if you have a problem with the industry and not Ameriprise.

With all companies, you will be overworked and underpaid.   It is the quickest way to success. 

Nothing is wrong with wanting a 40 hour work week, but it does mean that you are employee material instead of employer material.   You need the employer mentality to succeed in this business.
