Pros

As long as you sell and your numbers are where EJ wants them to be, you'll have freedom and everyone will tell you how great you are. great HQ support if you know how to ask the right questions.

Cons

Unless you get some assets. i.e. 10Mil plus. Your going to have a very very hard 4 years. even if your hitting goals your not making much, and the stress gets to the strongest person. After the first year ends , so does the salary. Thats when it realy get stressful. your going after 401k rollovers and small amounts of savings people have in the begining. Rollovers can take a week to over a month. if starting from scatch or you get a small book. plan on living on 3k a month for the next 3 years. yeh you might have a really great month but it will be followed by a terrible one.

Pros

They have allowed the HBA’s (home based associates) to remain remote

Cons

Micromanagers, they say they are okay if you want to apply to another department within the firm but the minute you do it’s like you get a target on your back. The pay doesn’t match the workload and the word is that you have to quit and then come back to make what you should already be getting paid. Benefits are terrible but 401k is pretty good
