Pros
The Training is good, and you get to add a new skill set to you resume. You get to learn a lot of different investment types besides the normal stocks, bonds and mutual funds. That's it.
Cons
Management is terrible. Things change daily in the sales department. It reminds most of us of a boiler room in a lot of ways. It's always SELL SELL SELL...CLOSE CLOSE CLOSE. Lots of Churn and Burn type of mentality and that applies to clients and sales representatives. In my time there I must have seen 15-20 reps come in and leave in the first 3 months. Compensation is horrible they claim you can make $100K but really the only ones that make that is management. If you are in the financial services industry already please stay away it will only bring you back down. There's absolutely no career path in the sales division you are pretty much stuck there with no advancement opportunities. Basically a dead end. It does take quite a bit of will power to stay there that long. Most people stay there for the pay check because they don't have what it takes to go out on their own.
