      High Stress

      Pros

      Invests a lot of time and training into advisors. I was well equipped to pass the licensing, go out and present myself to customers.

      Cons

      Company boast flexibility, but in order to meet quotas, advisors have to work like mad, if not in a flourishing area. It's far less of a financial advisor position and more of a sales position. It pushes the mentality that any investment is better than no investment for the customer.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Challenging work, volunteer opportunities, location

      Cons

      Poor leadership quality, poor decision-making, favoritism amongst leadership with associates who were marginal performers, while strong performers who were not favored continue to get worked dumped on them, more heavily scrutinized, and no recognition for contributions. Very bad medical plan, salary lower than average, miniscule pay increases.

      Don't take this positron if you're not serous about knocking on doors for 2+ yrs at least and making thousands of calls.

      Pros

      Create your own flexible schedule, great training, your own office in less than a year, you get your own Branch Office Administrator.

      Cons

      Your schedule generally includes working ten hour days. You will be outside knocking on doors for years, and unless the weather is perfect year-round you will freeze or melt for a few months out if the year depending on where you live.
