Pros

You can make good money if you bust your rear and door knock dawn till dusk.

Cons

Absolutely no leads. Watching other people in sales jobs make 10k a month out the gate with phone in leads or other leads. Door knocking sucks. Tons and tons of rejection. No other business model for building your business than door knocking house to house. Do not get a BOA from another office. They will just bring with them bad habits to your office and they are untrainable. If you are Young or Look Young. Find another job. Because you will waste your time door knocking for prospects. Since no one takes young 20 somethings serious. You will work double or triple as hard to build a business as another new older IR.

Pros

Good Training; Branch Assistants help us handle client accounts; Bonus Bracket = good times; Div trips are fantastic! Good marketing brochures/newsletters!

Cons

Veteren Advisors not able to grow business except through Advisory Program (which is not very strong compared to other firms); The Partnership is being manipulated by GP's and there hasn't been an offering for 4 years now and I hear there won't be for a few more years! The Medical benefits costs for non-GP Advisors is off the chart expensive. Regional Leaders have too much power and control. I was made aware of the fact that a RL in Chicagoland was given a $100M non-competive office and still poached big clients out of offices where the Advisor was fired, quit or left for another firm. This went on for 10 years!
