Financial Advisors are good if you like sales. You DO NOT help anyone, all your manager wants you to do is blindly sell sell and sell.
Now for the things you were looking for
1. Stable? No. I worked at a bank for more than 5 years, I have experienced about 4 business transformations.
2. Decent pay? Starting out is about 35k, 2-3 years after about 40-45k, then about 50-55k, plus 10% bonus. Bank managers makes about 70-100k depending on years of service.
3. Hours? If you haven't already noticed, banks are moving toward longer hours. You will be working anywhere in those hours. Expect 8am-7pm when you start out.
4. Benefits? You get that in most large corporations.
Good thing about them is that they are always hiring, because people can't take the pressure. GL
