Bear Claw
Cetera was once a good place for a certain type of advisor to call home. Now, the public doesn’t know what the hell is going on over there, and that includes the people who work there. It’s one thing to be stuck in that situation because you are there. It is another to consider schlepping over there when there is no proven hand on the rudder. The last three CEOs are out the door and apparently no one else is terribly sure they want to go through the turnstyle.
