Pros

Their training is literally top-notch. They set you up to succeed and give you a mentor when you get started. Be prepared that even though they say it takes a year and a half to get use to the programs and work flow that your boss will expect that to be accomplished within 6 months. There are a lot of trimester challenges to help grow the companies business which can be helpful for your overly taxed bonus.

Cons

Micromanagement, Big Ego, oversharing personal information, horrible time management, lack of personal space, "emotional", prefers to talk at you or down to you. EK might have thought that she had the best intentions but she prefers to treats her staff as though they are subservient and despite your awards she will always tell you that you are mediocre.

Pros

1. As close to being an independent financial advisor as you can be while still having a lot of support (home office and in your branch) 2. Very competitive salary to start, compensation percentage increases as your profitability and tenure increase. 3. One of the best life styles in the financial industry - families are included in the rewards (travel, etc), you set your own schedule, no immediate manager looking over your shoulder.

Cons

1. It is a tough five years to get started. You need to have an entrepreneur mindset who is willing to do what it takes to get your business off the ground. 2. If you have a total independent mindset, you will find some of the compliance restrictions to be limiting. For example, you may nothave a financial blog. You must be willing to stay within the boundaries given to you.
