Pros

The suck of being a first time advisor will probably give you the opportunity to find friendships with your coworkers that you wouldn't ordinarily find. You'll probably learn a lot about the industry and quickly discover what you don't want to do.

Cons

No brand recognition. Long hours. Bad product selection. Directors advise you to use the faith aspect in a way that feels disingenuous to Christianity. If you don't have an extremely high net worth immediate circle of friends, or don't know 1000 people, or aren't comfortable with asking friends and family to pay fees they wouldn't otherwise need to pay - this isn't the firm for you. Also, everyone talks badly of Northwestern Mutual's new advisor program but Thrivent's is virtually the same, except you sling term insurance instead of whole life.
