Pros
Having worked in the RBG (Retirement Benefits Group) for just about 2 years now, I have learned an incredible amount most of which I probably would not have learned had it not been for accepting a position here at AXA. When you join, you join a family. This job takes discipline and perseverance and you have a team of other advisors that will push you to do your best. If you are the type of person who loves a great community that provides the resources you need as well as having the opportunity to meet and help someone new every day this is a great place. The people and culture is incredible. Experienced advisors are always open and willing to help out newer advisors. No shortage of training. Always potential for joint work. Many opportunities for advancement (Management, Producer Groups, etc.) Flexible work schedule. (Later in Career)
Cons
Though many training's are offered some tend to become repetitive. Credentialing and Licensing is a long process and expensive. If in the RBG there is a lot of driving. Have to work long hours and weekends early on to succeed. Pay is variable, never guaranteed a paycheck
