Pros

They are a very large company with a well known brand name so they have a lot of resources

Cons

You have to come into the business knowing a lot of wealthy people or having a lot of connections. They have a culture of cold calling and they expect you to do it if you do not have the business already. They also charge their advisors for virtually everything, including office space.

Pros

Daily meetings and training every week with senior members to learn about the industry. They give you the opportunity to speak with veteran employees who have been with the company for a while.

Cons

For the first six months you basically work on commission and most things come from your own pockets - licensing exams and registration and providing for you own business.

Pros

They'll help anyone without financial experience get their licensing but after that your pretty much on your own. Have high activity or your going to die. Amazing work life balance...maybe a little to much actually. You meet great people.

Cons

Nickel and dime you on everything. Have to pay to use the software you need to develop strategies. Corporate culture is poor in my office.
