Pros

AXA training has been detailed and empowering. I am an entrepreneurial minded person and this firm has given me every tool and resource to help me make my dreams come true. The leadership has been phenomenal. They challenge and encourage you beyond what you thought you could do. The team environment is supportive and encouraging as well. Everyday I get the chance to help people! There is a flexible schedule and the compensation is great. I came in with eyes wide open and I have not been disappointed

Cons

The industry in general is a tough field. After interview many places I went with AXA because I felt they were honest with me about what to expect and their retention rates are crushing the industry average. I knew to be successful I had to learn from the best and have the best training.

Pros

For those looking for a career and not a job, this is the place. It is a very rewarding career because you feel meaningful and relevant in your client's lives. Every day you are helping clients solidify their financial household by helping them retire, sending their kids to college, and helping them during tough times in their life. High performing people can make an above average income of $100,000+ and the best advisors make multiples of that. Co-workers are great and extremely helpful. The management team is caring and work more like your partner than a manager. For new advisors training is consistent and very helpful in launching your practice. Benefits are great compared to other companies, and I know the benefits are great because we work with benefit programs from our clients and other companies that we work with. There is no comparison. Also you are able to work flexible hours.

Cons

Early on it can be a lot of hours in the first few years. However you are able to have a flexible schedule which helps in maintaining your personal life. As your practice evolves the hours become much less though. Some experienced advisors truly work a part time schedule once their practice is built. If you are not licensed already, you need to become licensed to work in the financial industry. AXA sponsors you and helps you prepare for the necessary exams. If you are committed to the studying process, it should only take 45-60 days. Those 45-60 days are a small price to pay compared to other professional fields like becoming a doctor or an attorney, which require multiple years of schooling and similar exams to enter into their fields.

Pros

Location, beautiful office space

Cons

Terrible pay, too many advisors working independently of each other with no cohesive goal, bullying is tolerated and you cannot make long distance phone calls because they don't pay for long distance.
