Pros

Good training program for getting your seven and sixty-six. They do a really good job at hiring the nicest people. They do a good job training you how to prospect. You don't have to know anything about investing or the economy to get hired.

Cons

You work alone. You work 70+hours a week. You door knock. Terrible at sales training. Nepotism.

Pros

-great initial training to get licensed -pretty good initial support from field trainer -no cap on earnings..you decide how much you make (of course subject to minimums set by firm) -set your own schedule

Cons

-you will feel like you are on an island (one advisor and assistant to an office) -talk of continuing support mostly lip service -will do ok if the local 'leadership' take a liking to you and gives you an office or assets/accounts from closed offices, otherwise extremely difficult to make a go of it -somewhat 'cult - like' at least here in central VA. -payout low compared to what you can earn as an independent advisor (even after out of pocket expenses)
