Pros

With this company positions of the same title can vary like crazy. As an Admin here you can either work directly for financial advisors as their employee or for the AXA company itself. Either way, the experience is dependent on the advisors you work with. I have very caring and understanding advisors that work hard with me to provide a great experience for our clients.

Cons

-The Bellevue office does not provide parking (unless you negotiate this with your advisor. AXA employees do not get a spot either). If you want to pay to park it is $210/month including taxes and fees. Surrounding lots do not seem much cheaper. -It can be hard to take time off as an admin as you are highly depended on day-to-day to handle client needs (just like most customer service jobs). -There are a lot of hoops to jump through to do the customer service side of the job as you must be compliant with strict security rules. While this is time consuming it is obviously good for any client and their security. Clients tend to get agitated with trying to open secure emails and deal with the security of their account websites.

Pros

Good place for career changers to get financial licenses (they will license anybody)

Cons

Very bad pay model for new hires- will tell you 6% commissions on certain products but then you have to kick up 10% to your manager and the other half of what's left to whoever is working w you because they make you go out in pairs...and mostly seem want to get ahold of all your friends and family for sales you can't participate on without the 66....but you have no time to study that bc you are too busy selling for the products that don't require it to make quota, as your clock starts when you pass the 7, so pretty much they just want your people. It's very eat what you kill, and then only after it's been picked over.... which is fine if you're young with no obligations, but not great if you have a family. If you were an existing advisor and had your own book/contacts it could work. Otherwise get your licenses, learn a little, but don't be afraid to move on to other opportunities.
