Pros

The energy at the Jacksonville Branch of AXA Advisors is unmatched by any other environment that I have had the pleasure of working in. Positivity radiates through all of the individuals that work together striving to lift each other up and encouraging each other to be the best they can possibly be each and every day. The training program is unmatched and inspires you to embark each day on your journey to creating your own successful business/practice in an industry where the work you do every day has a tangible impact on the lives of the people you help. The work life balance is incredible as you basically have the ability to set your own schedule how you see fit. I have never felt so well set up to be successful as I do working for AXA in Jacksonville. The leadership team has the tools and the capabilities to help propel you into your career. I could never have imagined how much and how fast I would learn about the industry. All around stellar place to start your career as a Financial Professional and beyond.

Cons

You have to be willing to work really really hard to be successful. You have to WANT it and if the hunger and the drive to do this isn't in your heart, no amount of training or help from the amazing leadership team will propel you to success in the industry. You must be self disciplined with a passion for the work that we do to help people each and every day. If you have that in your heart you will excel, if you don't life will be tough for you here

Pros

Complete freedom to build your book of business anmd schedule.

Cons

Horrendous place to start. Managers run their own practice and have little to no time to actually help you outside of your joint meetings so you're on your own. They only give you 2 options to get clients, cold calling or their retirement benefits group through schools. Basically the whole advising piece is to just to sell life insurance and annuities. The support staff is thin so you're kind of on your own with paperwork and compliance docs. They just genuinely offer you nothing. No help with covering costs (you pay for all your licensing and marketing materials), they even charge you for using the company laptop and fees for programs you will never use. They will mislead you about the commission payouts and you only really get something if you get them to buy an annuity or life insurance. If you also have a remaining balance of any fees when you leave, they will literally sending you threatening letters demanding the money and threaten you with claims court if you don't pay it back.
