Pros

Good Commission Schedule and rates if you can sell.

Cons

The Management is horrendous. The atmosphere is disfunct and communication is almost non-existant. Management and Execs have no idea what nor care about how to help the advisors. You learn little to nothing of product knowledge and training is horrible. IT is the luck of th draw as far as getting a good manager who can help you sell. If you are stuck with a bad manager then you don't get paid and are left stranded and strapped for cash. If you work hard and keep up the persistance it will pay off however you need time, money to sustain for the 3 year start period.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
