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

Pros

Complete freedom to build your book of business anmd schedule.

Cons

Horrendous place to start. Managers run their own practice and have little to no time to actually help you outside of your joint meetings so you're on your own. They only give you 2 options to get clients, cold calling or their retirement benefits group through schools. Basically the whole advising piece is to just to sell life insurance and annuities. The support staff is thin so you're kind of on your own with paperwork and compliance docs. They just genuinely offer you nothing. No help with covering costs (you pay for all your licensing and marketing materials), they even charge you for using the company laptop and fees for programs you will never use. They will mislead you about the commission payouts and you only really get something if you get them to buy an annuity or life insurance. If you also have a remaining balance of any fees when you leave, they will literally sending you threatening letters demanding the money and threaten you with claims court if you don't pay it back.
