Pros

Nice office with friendly employees.

Cons

Burn and churn style. I recommend not selling any annuities or life insurance to family or friends if you like them. This will be highly encouraged by your manager though. I worked here 4 years and saw it all. Most of the good reviews on here are managers trying to build a team and get a piece of new advisors commissions. Anyone interested, look up financial products “GDC commissions” for annuities and life insurance, they are 2x higher than what you’ll take home at AXA, company and managers take a huge piece of the pie.

Pros

decent trainings to get started in the business

Cons

the products are terrible and the business isn't designed to help people but to sell as much as possible. The advisors who sell for them either don't care, or are ignorant as to how bad the company actually is.

Pros

-gain excellent sales experience -learn from world class salesmen -fast paced sales environment -unlimited earning potential -lots of training from managers/ experienced advisors - learn how to cold call like a beast! Yes, cold calling is still part of the business people, get over it. - selling good products

Cons

-straight commission gig. There is a base salary option but it's like 30k and if you go that route your commission payout is very little. Most people opt for straight commission route. -be ready to make very little money at first -AXA advisors doesn't have the best reputation in nyc -some managers/ senior advisors try to run and sell too fast -endless revolving door of young advisors being hired and leaving -
