Pros

1. Good firm - trainer had a CFP. He was very willing to help. 2. Regional leaders seemed very interested in helping me. 3. Series 7 and 66 training are very good. You will be well prepared to take the exam.

Cons

Understand that at the end of the day, this is a sales job more than anything eles. If you want to succeed, you really need to have some knowledge in economics or finance and you need to be good sales person. EJ will not train you in the area of financial products. Your training will be almost exclusively on selling. Be prepared to knock on as many doors as humanly possible and work some very long hours.
