Great job if you're good at sales

Pros

Very values-oriented company. Takes care of workers. Does what they say they will do. Probably the most responsible investment company you can work for. Conservative philosophy that protects clients and customers from schemes and risk.

Cons

Archaic setup that requires door-to-door sales and a lot of cold-calling. Fast ramp-up time to meet production quotas that doesn't slow down for anyone or anything. It's a sales job more than an advisory job, really. I never felt like I got the time to actually study investments. Lots of sales pressure.

Pros

Fantastic Training and Regional Support is fabulous.

Cons

You have to pay for everything! Marketing materials, ad space, printer paper etc. This make the salary and the commissions go away very quickly.

It's a stable job, that's it.

Cons

low pay and no room for advancement even though they paint the picture that it is. Also, the health insurance is a joke!
