Pros

If you are a ruthless salesman, there is opportunity to make a lot of money, Requires zero understanding of investment or finance.

Cons

All cost and liability is placed on you the advisor. They are very obscure about all of the rules until you start asking your own questions. MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GETTING INTO. And really choose anything else if you don't want to be door to door sales. Your manager will be a salesman, so know that you are another number they are so eagerly hunting to improve on their own record sheet.
