Pros

Benefits from day one. Book of business to begin. Training is good initially. Co-workers are fun. Very high initial commissions. Very good pension...if you last

Cons

Poor leadership...worst I've ever seen. Turnover/employee retention is a non-focus New rep failure rate 88-95% Poor recruiting. Too many old ex-military in management. Salary only lasts 7 weeks. Poor residual income. 3 year max Like most sales positions/companies they do not care about you.

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.
