      Pros

      As long as you sell and your numbers are where EJ wants them to be, you'll have freedom and everyone will tell you how great you are. great HQ support if you know how to ask the right questions.

      Cons

      Unless you get some assets. i.e. 10Mil plus. Your going to have a very very hard 4 years. even if your hitting goals your not making much, and the stress gets to the strongest person. After the first year ends , so does the salary. Thats when it realy get stressful. your going after 401k rollovers and small amounts of savings people have in the begining. Rollovers can take a week to over a month. if starting from scatch or you get a small book. plan on living on 3k a month for the next 3 years. yeh you might have a really great month but it will be followed by a terrible one.

      BOA's manage the office and the Financial Advisor; FA's get the credit and big $$$. No matter what Home Office says.

      Pros

      Paid OTJ training, exciting environment, good people all around you. Very helpful support staff at Home Office.

      Cons

      Lots of hype and 'team' spirit, but the bottom line is all that matters. Don't buy the simpering phrase: 'we couldn't do it without you'. All BOA's have their FA's footprints imprinted on their backs; without the BOA, the FA's business would wither and die. However, EDJ does not support you as the law requires nor as they attest. FA's make the $$$; guess who gets the support - no matter what!
