Pros

Unlimited Gains Potential Management is great, they stay up to date with you throughout your licensing and certifications process. They make sure you aren't doing it alone

Cons

They will literally hire anyone. My dad is 54 and currently in job search, he was contacted by AXA as a "great fit" for the position when he has zero finance and sales experience. They just want to ramp up numbers and whoever doesn't make it they don't care. They really trick you with your gains potential, in the sense that it takes way longer to make money than they make it out to be. If you are not financially stable going into this position I suggest pulling out now because it costs over $1000 to pay for study materials and the actual exams. Yes, they reimburse you, but it won't be for at least 3-4 months after you actually start the testing phase. After you do finish the testing, in our first 4 weeks you only make $1400 plus commission (which hardly anyone makes in this phase). If you have a lot going on in your life, I suggest staying away because the early stages of this position will only make matters worse. Office Space is outdated and crammed.
