Sales not an Advisor

Pros

Easy way to get your Series 7/66 & LAH Licenses. Can provide some beneficial financial services industry experience. If you know a lot of people with large retirement accounts you can make large sums of money very quickly.

Cons

You will be forced to sell to your friends, family and then just about anyone who will still talk to you or answer your phone calls. Little to no help will be given to you once they see you as having tapped your "natural market" and you will be discarded. Compensation is purely commission based making almost everything you sell an inherent conflict of interest.

Pros

-This is going to depend entirely on which branch you're based out of but the leadership is friendly and there are always people looking to help anyone who's new. -Lot's of flexibility with hours and time off -Eat what you kill (commission; "pro" if you're good) -Unlimited earning potential

Cons

-Not a 40 hours a week/9-5 job. If you want to survive, you'll work at least 50 every week. -Eat what you kill (commission) -Lots of "no", you have to have thick skin -High rate of attrition (same as anyone in the business)
