Pros

Lots of freedom to do things outside work hours. Clerical staff is always helpful. Free Gym Membership. Free business cards.

Cons

The average weekly income is a lie, because they have veteran Reps that make the average higher. Newer reps struggle. Management only has a limited window to train and help you because they are constantly hiring new Reps due to large turnover rate. You pay out of pocket to be allowed to sell Group Health and Disability. Unless you exploit friends and family you will not make any money. The Book of Business you are given by management is garbage and has already been cherry picked by the tenured reps. Series-6 is a mandatory thing, not just because of company "policy", but because that is all management wants to push. They are forcing Salesforce integration company-wide, but no one knows how to properly use it...including the company trainers. Morals are preached about there, but company wants you to lie to clients to close sales.

Pros

Local office was fantastic. The head of the local agency was a fantastic leader, one of the best I have had. The training program was very hands on. In terms of starting a financial practice with a firm, they have some of the best compensation, with a very strong base.

Cons

HR department is more like police on a different team than on your team. Always seemingly trying to make life harder for reps. Unlike anything I have ever dealt with.
