World Financial Group Reviews

Constantly being fed lies about how our commissions beat out the commissions of the traditional insurance and investment industry. Made to believe that the 'exclusive' products that we as WFG agents had to offer were superior to what the traditional industry had in their bag of tools. Both of these teachings are complete garbage, and if you decide to look past the walls of WFG for yourself, you are quickly rejected, and TERMINATED This is unfortunately the norm for anyone who decides to leave. You cannot quit, they will always terminate an agent, so that you have no ability to sell your agent code, which is basically the book of business that you may have spent years building. Your clients BELONG to WFG. ASK anyone who has left and you will hear the same story over and over and over.

- MLM is the new name for a pyramid scheme - you ARE making money from people under you, and people under them, and people under them..... - you will spend more time "growing your downline" by recruiting than learning about the financial industry and becoming a good financial advisor - if you do rise high enough, you will be spending more time managing the churn than learning about the financial industry and becoming a good financial advisor. - you will become good at exaggerating your skills as a "financial advisor", exaggerating your own personal wealth to attract potential "downline" clients - your only real use will be selling insurance and somewhat crappy funds - clients will find no value in this unless you break out of the WFG mold, crack open some books, and actually become a certified financial planner on your own (WFG doesn't spend much time advocating this)
