Pros
The training to get your licenses is top notch. If you don't know how to sell, you will definitely learn and use what you learn immediately. There is a lot of freedom to create your own schedule and no one bothers you when you meet your numbers. Very strong culture and fellow co-workers are very helpful. The best place to start out in financial services.
Cons
You work by yourself quite a bit. Your success is soley based upon your ability to get people to trust you and give you large sums of money. The financial products are very limited and the firm is very conservative. Not a place for stock traders. In order to make it you must find people with large amounts of money and can be challenging to position yourself as an expert when you are just starting out.
