Pros

One year of training and a lot of support from headquarters in St. Louis.

Cons

It's a two person office. Salary raises, bonuses, promotion to SR. Branch Office Administrator (SR. BOA), incentives, etc. depend entirely on the perfomance, success and advancement of the Financial Advisor (FA). FA also completes an annual review that determines a salary raise.

Pros

Autonomy and freedom as to the investments and clients I choose. My own office, assistant and strategies. Lots of help and support from the home office. No incentive to churn your friends and relatives.

Cons

Regulations make the job nearly impossible, long hours, late nights, frustrating conversations with a support staff who is friendly but often you will hear 3 different answers to one question. An over-saturated market in my area- 4-5 jones offices within 2 miles.

Pros

Very good opportunity if you have or are given the right set of circumstances. Excellent training provided for Series 7 & Series 66 Exams!

Cons

If you don't have or are not given the RIGHT set of circumstances to build your business as New FA. you are at a significant hardship for succeeding no matter how good you are at building prospect/client rapport, knowing your stuff, knowing how to apply sales strategies.
