Pros

Great job for cons and crooks

Cons

Real meat grinder, don't get fooled by the recruitment con artists who tell how good they have it because they'll be the ones that all your hard work is turned over to when you realize you have become the statistical 9 out of 10 who can't hit the ridiculous production numbers they assigned to you. Unless you're already part of their circle you better come to the table with friends and relatives ready to hand over their money. You have been forewarned!

Pros

No out of pocket upfront expenses. Paid to study for series 7 and 66. Great system in place to help people pass the licensing exams on the first try.

Cons

Lack of training once you have passed licensing tests. If all you want to do is learn how to knock on doors and make phone calls while getting your teeth kicked in, then this is for you. No work life balance for at least the first 3 to 5 years. Expected to work weekends and evenings to make sales goals. Can be kind of cult like at times. You will eventually notice everyone regurgitating the same exact things word for word.
