Pros

I do not find any good in their misleading way of bussiness

Cons

WFG uses your friends to get you into a presentation that is supposedly a financial training, while it is just a misleading recruiting event. They instruct your friends to get you signed up for the job as quick as possible. You have to pay initially to sign up. You would not know you are part of an MLM until later in the process. To make any meaningful progress you have to participate in their aggressive MLM game. To begin, you should bring 3 recruitments and 3 prospects in 30 days, and the cycle repeats. I asked to resign immediately, when I found out about the MLM nature of the work, and they did not give my money back.

Pros

Strong Support & Mentorship The leadership typically provides mentors and upline sponsors who guide agents as they start. This mentorship can help with goal setting, sales strategies, and accountability. . Flexible Schedule As an agent, I had the freedom to build my business on my own terms. If you value flexibility and being your own boss, WFG supports that.

Cons

Commission-Based Compensation Compensation is heavily commission-based with no steady base pay, especially early on. This can make income unpredictable, particularly in the first 6–12 months. High Learning Curve While training exists, a lot of success depends on self-study, persistence, and trial/error in the field. Some find this challenging without strong prior sales experience.
