      Pre-employment phase (PEP) Financial Consultant employee

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I guess if you stick with this position long term, it has great flexibility, salary potential, and mobility. They use a lot of digital tools which is cool.

      Cons

      If you don't like or don't want to cold call, don't bother. I have been struggling to cold call because I DESPISE it and realized this was not the field for me. My manager pushes product that pay well rather than what would be better for the client (typical in this industry). If the client doesn't have big bucks, "throw them to the curb"...nice.

      Experience as an AXA Advisor

      Financial advisor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Incredible amount of support and trainings from management to make a difficult career as simple as possible when first starting out. Plenty of opportunities to make as much income as you want and management gives you all the tools necessary to be successful. There's a great office dynamic and your hard work never goes unnoticed.

      Cons

      At the beginning of your career you need to work many nights to build your book of business and you'll have to deal with a lot of failure initially. This is not a typical 9-5 job, however, sticking with it can be extremely rewarding.

      Only if you can afford a pricey internship

      Financial professional
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Teaches you a great work ethic, perhaps even to an extremity. Everything is a personal investment of your own. Teaches you to get comfortable with cold calling which is a great thing to get comfortable with.

      Cons

      You will most likely not close a deal for at least 3 months, underwriting is a Very slow process in most cases. Every person I started with that left owed at least 2k to the company when they left, for me, it was about 5x that amount and I struggled financially while I was there. Many people are tired of being called by them but you do get lucky. You'll probably have some success if you are comfortable selling to people you know.
