Pros

- Good mentorship program -emphasis on helping people out rather than Wolf of Wallstreet scamming - Willingness to help/train

Cons

- if you don't have a solid existing network of US-based, financially stable friends, you cannot grow this business (all of my friends are abroad or incredibly broke. I just ran out of people to talk to, and everyone eligible I did know is skeptical when you bring up money) - very slow start - no base pay. you 100% need another job to fund your living for the first 6 months. - I brought up my lack of eligible network and they said they'd teach me how to utilize that, but it was inefficient. I told them I didn't have another job at the time and they gave me an unrealistic timeline of success and I wasted a few valuable months of job-searching. Now starting from scratch - once you learn the basics, everything boils down to "just work harder and suck it up"

Pros

great account management team. Great bosses. pension. decent benefits. managers allow flexibility.

Cons

the account managers are the only ones held accountable. other departments don't answer emails for weeks, don't do their jobs and no one in upper management cares. directly effects account managers so you get yelled at by clients and brokers a lot. don't get paid enough to do the job of the account manager and take on the other departments work.
