Thoughts on Kidder Matthew as a broker? Recent college graduate seeking advice.
Recently graduated from a top target university on the west coast and was wondering if any of you have insights on how Kidder Matthews runs their training program for incoming brokers. Thanks!

The firm may have some financial/broker basics type things for you to participate in but it\u2019s nothing compared to the mentorship and training your team leads will give", "replies": [{"id": "ggbmq6u", "text": "Thanks for the info!
