Pros

Fiscally responsible culture therefore in down market times, its a good stable organization to work for. Benefits are fair and there are opportunities to move into the sales force if you wish to do so. Great place to start off and learn the business

Cons

If you are not identified as a potential future leader in the first 6 months you are working for the firm, it is a slow and arduous process to advance within the firm. Many people take 3-5 years to move into the most entry level management position. High biased for promotions into middle and senior management to those who were former Investment representatives.

Pros

Complete Flexibility of Schedule Unlimited Earnings Being a part of my life ( Taking time off to see the play, game etc.. ) Accountable to myself only! Excellent Product Selection, Everything offered is scrubbed so well I can sell it to grand ma and feel good about it. Sleep Well at night knowing you are doing the right thing for yourself and your customers. Door Knocking is a blast if you wait for a sunny day, and get out of the office to enjoy some face to face time.

Cons

It is HARD, HARD Work. Pay is LOW first 3 - 4 years. You are not different, Everyone here is good at what they do, Don't tell yourself you can outperform everyone else because bla bla bla, It is very very hard work, and you will work very very hard just to stay up.
