Pros
They recently left a large corrupt company to go independent and I noticed a lot of reviews this month specifically trying to tank their ratings shortly after they left. I think most people can put two and two together which in my opinion, highlights many of the reasons why the CEO ultimately made the decision to leave but thank goodness they left and went independent. They left so they could offer better compensation structures (yes, they have a base option), increased payouts, more stability to Advisors, offer better products for clients, and are no longer held captive. They now have multiple companies that allow Advisors to have additional ways to help clients and give new leads to Advisors which is nice. The CEO is a genuine guy who invests a lot of time leading trainings himself to make sure you are successful.
Cons
Being a Financial Advisor at any company requires a lot of hard work early. Be careful not to join big insurance companies or companies who only sell annuities. Many companies will also make you pay a bunch of money in expenses after a few years (Lemnis does not) so make sure you ask blunt questions.
