Pros

Incredible amount of support and trainings from management to make a difficult career as simple as possible when first starting out. Plenty of opportunities to make as much income as you want and management gives you all the tools necessary to be successful. There's a great office dynamic and your hard work never goes unnoticed.

Cons

At the beginning of your career you need to work many nights to build your book of business and you'll have to deal with a lot of failure initially. This is not a typical 9-5 job, however, sticking with it can be extremely rewarding.

Pros

Good place for career changers to get financial licenses (they will license anybody)

Cons

Very bad pay model for new hires- will tell you 6% commissions on certain products but then you have to kick up 10% to your manager and the other half of what's left to whoever is working w you because they make you go out in pairs...and mostly seem want to get ahold of all your friends and family for sales you can't participate on without the 66....but you have no time to study that bc you are too busy selling for the products that don't require it to make quota, as your clock starts when you pass the 7, so pretty much they just want your people. It's very eat what you kill, and then only after it's been picked over.... which is fine if you're young with no obligations, but not great if you have a family. If you were an existing advisor and had your own book/contacts it could work. Otherwise get your licenses, learn a little, but don't be afraid to move on to other opportunities.
