Business Outlook

Pros

Hard working & collegial atmosphere with a lot of great resources for new advisors. The sales & financial training was top notch. The managers definitely care for their team members and do a great job building a supportive environment.

Cons

There is definitely a lot of pressure to produce new business but that is to be expected in this industry. The only issue I had was the willingness of most managers to pressure new advisors to seek business from their close families and friends.
