Pros

Management is so incompetent you can spend all week at home and they won't notice or care.

Cons

Bait and switched in interview. Company does not do any marketing so everyone you call has no idea of the company you work for. Pay is awful. Products are terrible and overpriced and are sold to clients hoping they either wont notice or will notice and cancel their policy so the company can keep the money they spent so far. Every client you get in you book of business doesn't want to talk to you because they have had 12 advisers since they got there policy and don't want to be bothered because they know you're going to sell them something else they don't need. Management provides zero direction other than make more phone calls. You never get a break from this job because management will call and text you at all hours of the night and on the weekends. DO NOT WORK HERE THERE ARE BETTER PLACES TO BEGIN A CAREER THAT ACTUALLY HELP YOU AND WILL PAY YOU A REAL SALARY.

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.
