Predatory hiring practices that prey on recent grads, forcing them to sell their friends and family.
Pros
Nice office location and amenities. FR contract is strong relative to the industry, but is only beneficial to top producers. Professional Atmosphere. Friendly support staff. Long standing history in Minneapolis that only recently has begun to sour.
Cons
Low company values, very dog eat dog, everyone can be replaced. High pressure to sell friends and family. Unbalanced financial planning strategies, highly focused on insurance products and advises to stay away from investment and traditional financial products. Predatory hiring model that preys on recent grads, forces them to sell their friends and family insurance products, then ushers them out of the industry while the agency maintains management of financial products. Chop shop mentality. Poor training and on boarding process. Management expects you to begin selling from day one. Management has an extreme my way or the highway mentality. They will take anyone under the sun, no college no problem.
