Pros

There are no pros. I suffer a lot from this company.

Cons

This company used a golf club against me. From the very beginning the woman training me (digital marketing) said that management called me weird and she was inappropriate. My experience was excruciating.

Pros

No pros, do not do this.

Cons

At first they tell you this is an amazing opportunity and show a six figure range for how much you "might" get payed if you're a top performer. Then they tell you to take a few tests, easy peasy. Once you get into it you first need to get your state Insurance certification. You need to pay a separate college for the class, easily 80 hours of unpaid studying, take your test and IF you pass you move on to your SIE. Your SIE is another couple hundred $ for all the study materials, another couple hundred hours of studying all the material and a more money to schedule and take your test. Finally your Series 7 is the big one. Another couple hundred for all the study supplies, ANOTHER couple hundred hours of studying and $200 charge just to take the test. You can only fail it once before having to wait 30 days to take it again and even longer if you fail that one, $200 charge for the test every time. I spent the greater part of a year after graduating college being strung along from these people. They partially cover your expenses, then after your SIE send you One (1) $350 check for all your hard work before working on your S7. The recruiter/manager was not truthful about all the work that goes into getting your certifications, and all the hours after.

Thank you for the feedback. Like starting any business, it requires significant investment (of time in particular, and some capital). Our firm does cover many licenses and registrations, generally reimbursing when Financial Professionals complete our Preliminary Employment Period and contract. FINRA makes the rules on wait time if the Series 7 exam is failed. We have numerous resources for exam prep. Best of luck to you in your career! As we like to say, face the future with courage, strength and wisdom.

Pros

There is a lot of freedom. If you are successful you can do well

Cons

You have to sell in order to eat. Unless you are bringing clients with you this probably isn’t the way to go
