Pros

autonomy of your own practice, product selection is vast and comprehensive for most situations, decent commission payout structure

Cons

phone dialing is strongly encouraged, networking to find new clients can be a daunting task unless you already have an established network that is willing to work with you, sales quotas go up constantly making it hard to be sustainable.

Pros

Good benefits, solid group of employees to befriend and work with and decent salary starting out

Cons

They force you to push their own financial instruments, and all of the upper level management acts like you'll be a millionaire in your first year. They make you pay for your own insurance and series 7 exams. My branch was basically just one big wannabe wall street frat boy circle J in New Jersey, literally any other firm is better.

Pros

I love helping and educating folks and put them in a better financial spot. But insurance is not a fun way to do it in this day in age

Cons

Insurance sales blows. You can go 3 months with out making a paycheck. Lackluster training and expected to bring on natural market friends and (Mom and Dad 401k rollovers) in order to stay in the industry you’ve got to make about 2 -3 thousand a month. Ponzi scheme. Stay away like the plague turn over rate is 90%
