Pros

You are able to open your own franchise with no start up costs. Able to set your own schedule. They will say you can make unlimited pay based on work ethic.

Cons

Only way to succeed is to move into established office or take over assets. Otherwise, you are not going to make it. You will be one of the cogs in the machine that lets some future FA succeed, while you move to a different job. You do the hard work, they fire you becuase you started with no assets, then they bring in a newbie to take over the fruits of your years of hard labor.

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
