It's a boiler room

Pros

-Very straight forward path to success -Take the full commission contract and not the salary option -it's a boiler room, make 500 calls a day with a confident pitch and you will find some success -Fantastic jumping off point, get your Series 7, learn how to take constant rejection and then leave

Cons

-You are not guaranteed a manager that will care about you, I was lucky to have one that did -It's likely you will not get paid for your first 2-3 months there -Hard to get to a contract for most -Culture is exactly what you'd expect, lots of kids who haven't faced adversity -Most successful strategy for landing opps is bait and switch
