Pros

This career path can really add up over time to create a lot of money in your paycheck without too much work one built, lots of training, lots of fun and support, and a lot of autonomy. Do build up equity in your own business within the firm. Local leadership team though gets it done and gets it right.

Cons

Must be a self starter and able to solve problems, must be willing to have a get it done mentality, and does take time build up momentum.

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.
