Cons

First couple years difficult as you as building a client base, base pay decreases over 2 years but at that point you have a book of business.

Pros

Fantastic start up program for advisors new to the industry with great support from management. This job provides amazing flexibility and the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of your clients. There is no ceiling on your earning potential. It is what you make it!

Cons

This industry, as a whole is very challenging in the first 4-5 years to get your book of business built up. It requires long hours and hard work in the beginning.

Pros

Financial Professional based in Portland, Oregon office * Great team and leadership - the managers are very supportive, collaborative, and care about the personal and professional development of the advisors. * Excellent culture. AXA as a company in the US has five corporate summits to empower the advisors and the community - LGBT, Women, Asian American, African American, Hispanic American summits. * Good fundamental infrastructure for building the financial services business - as the financial professionals/advisors are equipped with both insurance and investment licenses, enabling them to be able to offer true comprehensive financial planning and wholesome suite of solutions to clients (instead of being a one trick pony). * Great benefits.

Cons

Not necessarily about AXA Advisors nor the Portland/Pacific NW branch. The following is true for the industry as a whole. This is hard business. The financial professionals need to put hours, sweat, (and probably tears) to build their book of business. Initially, revenue and personal income may be unpredictable or inconsistent.
