Pros

Good pay with time The best training for Series 7 Only sells quality products Good culture

Cons

Good advice gets in the way and confuses people. Must sell what they want until you are established. Areas with lots of EDJ advisors can be tough to navigate. Expect lots of calls about "why are you knocking near my office?" or "Why did you talk to my client?" Almost zero product knowledge training. Have to teach yourself. Many people come in with clients lined up from either working at a bank or family connections. Expect to compete head to head with these people. Extremely low odds of surviving past a few years

Pros

They have allowed the HBA’s (home based associates) to remain remote

Cons

Micromanagers, they say they are okay if you want to apply to another department within the firm but the minute you do it’s like you get a target on your back. The pay doesn’t match the workload and the word is that you have to quit and then come back to make what you should already be getting paid. Benefits are terrible but 401k is pretty good
