Pros

Great firm, with a lot of freedom and earning potential. There is a lot of freedom in terms of growing, building, and driving your own business with plenty of autonomy. If you are willing to work hard you will not find a better work/life balance, especially as you get later in your career. The firm is very large in the 403(b) space and well known because of the high quality products. This makes the firm an attractive choice for potential clients.

Cons

This is really a great position and firm if you are driven, determined, and patient. Most advisors will reap the rewards of their hard work after a couple years, at which point the work/life balance is unbeatable.
