Pros

Overall the training for the position was very good. The office setting was comfortable, and most sit at a large desk. They also give you free food on some occasions.

Cons

The company is very cheap. You have to basically beg for a pen to use and they would not provide notepads. Even though you sit at a nice desk, everyone is out in the open and there is no privacy. You are constantly monitored from how long you are on the phone with a client, tax person, or branch. In addition, leaving your desk is made into a big issue. Even though they tell you any mistake can be corrected, I would advise not making any. Even when it is corrected, it is thrown back into your face after they listen to one of your monitored phone calls.

Not a Lot of Field Support High/Inequitable Sales Goals Worked a Lot of Nights/Weekends(Especially If You Inherit Little Assets) High Family Insurance Premiums and Deductible Lot of Out-Of-Pocket Expenses(If You Want To Stay In Business) Behind On Online Advertising Prospecting Isn't Working Like It Might Have Used To They Tell You They Supplement Your Income Until You Build Your Business- truth is, you need to be exceeding expectations to get the milestone bonuses(and if you have high sales goals, you're going to work your butt off to meet that) People Are Adverse To Investing Right Now-Lot Of Rejection It's ALL About The Numbers
