      Pros

      I guess a pro is if you don’t feel like working, you don’t have to - but you aren’t getting paid.

      Cons

      There is no way to start in this company without losing so much money first. You have to purchase your own computer. You have to purchase access to the software your clients’ accounts will be on (to manage them). You have to pay all postage for anything you mail to clients. Trades all have fees, and it is required that the advisor pay the fees. All while not earning a salary... This is an extremely sales pushy job. Those above you will say they will do whatever it takes to make you successful, because they will get overrides on business you bring in.

      Pros

      It is definitely a difficult career, however, I have worked at multiple firms and AXA truly gives you the best possible chance to succeed. They offer a tremendous amount of support and the training is far superior to any other firm I've seen. It's a tough career to get started in, and it does take true hard work. But if you make it, the lifestyle is second to none.

      Cons

      LIke I said above, it is difficult in the first few years (as is any type of start-up business). You have to be willing to put in the hard work and their will certainly be missed cases/cancelled meetings, etc. It's not a job you can do the minimum and succeed.
