Pros

There are no pros for this company.

Cons

A hiring manager told me that one of the girls he was interviewing had bad skin and to stay away from recruiting people with foreign sounding names. Granted this girl was qualified and had a good educational background, I still saw this company try to recruit someone who wasn’t. You have to pay up front for licensing exams and the exam materials are busted. This company seems like a scam.

Pros

They sponsor your series 7, and 66.

Cons

- you spend a ton of money, and its a waste - they don't give you any call lists you have to make them yourself. They gave me the extension to a company and at night after work you have to call. You change the last digit of the number to reach an answering machine. You listen to the persons name on the answering machine... and that's who you are to dial the next day. - employers do not invest in employees, their turnover rate is so incredibly high that they don't care.
