Run!!!!!

Pros

You can get your Series 7 here which is pretty much the key to getting hired at a legitimate financial advisory services firm. But......you have to pay for it yourself.

Cons

-First 6 months without a base salary only on commission (which you wont get much of because you just started). Don't expect to make anything for 6 months. -You are expected to sell the 403(b) which requires you to sit in teachers lounges all day at public schools in the middle of nowhere and badger every teacher who comes in to buy a product that you know won't make them any money. -I wouldn't do this job if it was the last opportunity on earth. The first six months are the equivalent to a cutco knife sales internship. -Commission structure is terrible -Impossible to maintain fiduciary responsibility and be successful at the same time.
