      Great company, great products, but expensive to work for.

      Pros

      You're in control of your business. Your success is dependent on your drive and work ethic. If you show significant and consistant growth, career advancement is in your future. AXA also offers very competitive products.

      Cons

      There are a lot of costs associated with being an advisor. Your compensation gets cut by all the expenses you are required to pay (Rent for office, licenses, computer, phone, administrative support, E&O insurance, etc.). In doing a comparison with other financial advising organizations, AXA Advisors seems to be one of the more expensive companies to work for.

      Pros

      -there are good people passionate about helping you succeed. -decent training -pays for licensing process -if you have a good mentor figure you can succeed -the established advisors (not managers) are very nice

      Cons

      -there are managers that are completely absent and pretty much throw you to the wolves -doesn’t pay you salary while licensing -full commission salary is pushed on new hires -some offices have almost no people in them and end up being soul-less and depressing to be in. -managers get compensated for the people they bring in so they have a tendency to exaggerate things and be a bit misleading during the hiring process.
