Pros

Good training process, lots of help and support. Can get insurance license, series 7/63/65/66 in short amount of time. Plenty of tools and social, upbeat atmosphere. Good benefits. Can be very lucrative if you are well connected and not afraid to leverage your relationships for sales opportunities.

Cons

Not entirely transparent in interviewing process. Weird payment structure (very small salary option, that eventually goes to only commissions). Heavily dependent on natural market (friends and family). Very little help establishing client base outside of natural market. Very little income in beginning. Not a good career choice if just starting out of college (such as myself). Must put a lot of work in upfront with very little pay, potential long term (very long term...) rewards.

Pros

AXA is the largest insurance company in the world and when you work in a company that large, it feels great. The name alone speaks volumes when you talk to others and explain what you do. In a sales role, that can be very helpful, especially when you sell insurance and retirement solutions. The spirit of everyone, although slightly competitive, is very friendly and there is a lot of camaraderie.

Cons

I joined the company with the understanding that there will be a lot of training provided by my manager. I did not get the support that I was promised and my education stopped short almost instantly. It left me feeling lost and unsure of what to do. This was my first true sales position where I had to find my own clients and I just didn't get the support I needed from my manager. I was not the only one--a lot of people had the same issues.
