Pros

AXA Advisors is a great place to begin your career. While the industry is very challenging to get up in running in as an advisor, there are many platforms better to do it on than AXA's. Their culture is phenomenal and makes coming to work each day enjoyable. Even with the high turnover that comes with this industry, there is stability and mentoring present in the Overland Park office, that really helps young advisors get started.

Cons

This career is not for everyone. It takes a certain type of person that is self motivated and and hungry for success. While they will give you the necessary tools to succeed, they aren't baby sitters. You will do well if you have a responsible mind set.
