Pros
Overall AXA is a good company. There are Mentors that are truly interested in your success.
Cons
Managers that are not sensitive to diversity which includes women, working mothers and people of color. I can't speak for all branches, but the San Francisco branch is like a car salesman. They do not do holistic comprehensive Fact Find. They only care about the numbers and volume. Managers rush a sale to make numbers. And when numbers are not made. They blame the advisors. When you complain to upper management, they defend their managers because they only look at the numbers. Just because a manger makes a sale and it looks great on paper, it does not make them a great manager that truly cares about the success of their advisors. The SF office is a young office of 20 years old advisors and 30 year old managers that shoot from the hip. They do not bring value to the table. I have lost a few sales because of this. It is not an environment for mature women and working mothers. The managers do not care. They hire diversity for for quota only. There is much prejudice in the office, unless you are willing to be whorish to save your position.
