Pros
Possibility to get licensed, but at your own expense and there is no salary.
Cons
The worst experience in my life: zero support after licensing - Y.O.Y.O (you on your own); AXA mandatory training was very poor; my office space was not ready when I started, my desk phone did not work and I my business cards "by mistake" had a contact phone number of another advisor who is related to our receptionist. I found it only when my phone was fixed (2 weeks later). There are tons of problems on the management level. There is ZERO marketing support for new people with the compliance approved material. On my interview I was told that after my licensing I will be receiving 6 months payments + commissions ($1,360 per month), in reality I had only 1 month paid. I got embarrassed a few times by introducing AXA as a "full financial service" company (exactly what we were told multiple times and how AXA is introduced), but in reality the PEP Associates are set to sell ONLY insurances and annuities - no training and access to LPL. As Financial professionals we are supposed to work in the best interest of our clients. I was pushed to do replacements and fussed when I refused to do it. If you are still considering AXA career, be prepared to pay for EVERYTHING out of your pocket and good luck to you!!!
