      Not great for Newbies

      Financial advisor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible hours - except be ready to work evenings (to meet clients and for training) which can lead to working 12 hours or more a day.

      Cons

      The start up cost is too high. They promise to pay your licensing fees, but you have to chase people to refund anything. They concentrate on variable products, when they should also concentrate on fixed products as well. They want you to sell their products and not other vendors - because if you do you are paid less commission -underlying product driven scheme. This company is for someone who has been in the industry and has a full client list already - but be warn. Once you leave, you do not take those clients back 'cause they make you sign a contract and you cannot even call them for over one year.
