Pros

The only pros that I can think of is getting the licenses.

Cons

Theres so many cons to working for this company I dont know where to even start. From day 1 you are lied to about the training, pay and career advancement. Let me just begin by saying many of the reviews on here are current employees that are sold the dream that they say if you put in the effort you have unlimited earning potential. That may be true, but it is very rare as for this position you are nothing more then a call center where you make 500+ dials a day trying to convince random people about life insurance. I was told I would be financial advising and getting the training needed and all I got was just a bunch of meeting set and ran that they tried pushing life insurance. My friend wanted me to help him with retirement planning and said he did not want life insurance and they pushed 3 different life insurance products on him. The knowledge that I learned after being here for a year was the same knowledge I had when I originally started. I would avoid this company at all costs unless it is truly your last option and just use it as a stepping stone. Dont think youre any more special then the rest of the people because youre just a pawn for the management to fill up their pockets. I should have known that after my first 2 months there that 15 out of 40 people in the office left to other companies

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.
