Pros
If you already have a book of business at another firm, you'll probably get better multipliers and bonuses with AXA. If you somehow end up working with one of the top 3 producers in ATX (not their underlings) you have a chance. Office location. You will likely work with friends- because they will have lured you in for the interview in the first place.
Cons
First months you'll be pre-contract you pay for tests, must make $5k before its repaid. Accompanying you on meetings with your "natural market" will be your managers' (or managers chosen lieutenant) main priority. These will be your parents, friends (over age 25), and family friends. You will be given scripts to read that pitch everything from a "second set of eyes" to your new divine calling to "faith based financial planning" to set a meeting. If you don't plan on drinking the koolaid/ building your book on your friends and family, start elsewhere.
