-Flexibility and ability to create your own schedule -You will learn exactly how not to be a financial advisor

-Financial "advisors" who do not do what's best for their clients -Once you sell a client you are told not to go back to that client until you can sell them again -They sell you on owning your own business but in reality you just work for the manager who hires you -Managers push you to sell Equitable products despite better products being available on the market -Upper management is completely incompetent

Pros

Accessible stepping stone into the industry. Flexibility

Cons

Little transparency for employees, high pressure annuities and insurance sales with little real education or support on product or sales practice knowledge. Expect long hours while you learn to do recordkeeping and support work on your own while trying to meet goals that make sense for someone with a few years of prior experience, staff to help with paperwork and recordkeeping, and a decent lead funnel. You may not get any of these depending on branch and territory but you will still have a performance goal to keep your base pay and benefits that feels absurd to the new entrants they primarily target for recruitment.
