Pros
-Opportunity: If you look at the opportunity AXA provides, you're able to work with individuals as well as small businesses on a holistic approach. -Culture: The management team has created a culture that breads competition, but has everyone wanting their piers to succeed. -Mentorship: There are multiple mentorship opportunities, from working with people on the advisory panel to gold mentorships, to management. -Income: The first few years are challenging, but if you can get through the first year or two, the income opportunity is endless and I was able to make well over six figures in my third year. -Flexibility: You get the opportunity to work when and where you please. Which can be a blessing and a curse, but for the people that are disciplined, this is what I enjoy the most. -Training: Lengthy training program, that they couple with the mentorship program to make sure you get good classroom knowledge, as well, training with other advisors.
Cons
-First few years: The first few years are the most challenging, from studying to your third year in the business are a grind. I'd say its similar to becoming a doctor or lawyer, in that you have to work long tough hours up front, but get extremely rewarded if you stick it out. -Technology: The technology isn't the most user friendly, but they do use salesforce, linkedin, asset-map & Morningstar (financial planning tools)
