Answering the phone
Answering the phone, that may not sound like much but it was a surprise to have someone not only answer the phone right away but also knew what was going on with my account. Huge benefit setting up a new account and made me feel confident moving money.

New company for me in new space- Glad for the help!
I'm a retail investor who's gradually taking control of my own investments. This means moving things out of various target ETFs and such at national firms and moving them into stocks that I pick and hold largely through DRS with Mainstar Trust as my custodian. The people I have interfaced with so far have been Super Helpful, and I very much appreciate that. I'm new to this, and to my eyes the fees seem reasonable for the services provided.

Plan on a lot of hassle getting things transferred
The only reason I have any investments in MainStar or Priority Income Fund is because I inherited the accounts from my mother. Her advisor (and I use that term VERY loosely for him) got her into them. My Mom passed in August, and it took until January to get the accounts transferred, with MainStar and PIF making it as difficult as possible. When my Father in Law passed in December of 2020, we had his accounts at USBank Wealth Management transferred by the end of February. Also most of the "investments" I now hold in these accounts are not liquid, so I assume it will be a major hassle making the required RMDs very difficult.
