Pros

unlimited pay. be your own boss.

Cons

Door- knocking. I didn't think this would be a big deal. But knocking in the winter, when your fingers are too cold to write information. Constant looks of disgust as you walk thru a neighborhood. It is disheartening to see how many people will actually hate you because you knock on peoples doors. People avoid you like the plague. Not easy to deal with.

Great place to get your feet wet! Training is second to none.

Pros

Training is second to none for new FAs. The firm offers ample support for its new advisors. Personally, I loved working for a conservative firm -- didn't get caught up in risky investment vehicles like some of it's big name competition.

Cons

Knock, knock. Who's there? You got it, there's a whole heck of a lot of door knocking. It's most definitely not for everyone. Also, the beginning salary is small and short-lived!
