Pros

It can be very satisfying to help a family who has found themselves in a crisis. The company prepares you well to work with the elderly and their families to find care options and solutions. The technology that the company has in place to allow you to work from your home office is pretty awesome.

Cons

That same technology allows the company to listen in on and monitor your calls, see your computer screen, etc... It always feels like someone is watching but since you are at home alone it is kinda like being the only gold fish in the bowl. The position requires a lot of diversification and multi-tasking. This could be a positive for some but many feel it is over whelming. They have a bankable draw. They tell you up front it will be 3-4 months before you make more than the draw which is not enough to begin with, but most advisors take much longer to get beyond the draw balance which accumulates.
