Pros

Paid training and good support starting out. If you are lucky enough to get an office with existing client base, this is a great career.

Cons

The prospecting methods are outdated. Knocking on doors in an era where people rarely even answer phones is a terrible way to prospect.

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
