Pros

- solid base pay and fair commission structure - excellent training in the beginning - well respected name within the industry - ethical approach to the business - excellent reimbursement plan for expenses

Cons

- Similar to other in finacial advisor industry. They hire a bunch and hope a few will stick - All resources are poured into top producers that have been around for 6+ years. - Many times you are on your own, lost and fummbling through your career - Very thin at upper level management = very hard to get their help
