Pros

It's amazing the role you can play in a families life - helping them to achieve financials dreams/goals. Not only intrinsically rewarding - I help my family too.

Cons

Hard work, if that's a con. I was willing to grind. People I've seen not do as well are those that aren't willing to work hard.

Dallas - Amazing Culture

Business Outlook

Pros

I work out of Dallas and what an amazing group of individuals. The support staff is great and training is world class. On the Retirement Benefits Group there IS a base salary plus commissions and bonus compensation. This is a great career for someone who has that entrepreneurial spirit but doesn’t want to build a financial services practice alone. The people truly care and want you to do well.

Cons

It’s a challenge; But anything worth doing is...the first 1-3 years are a grind and by year 5 it’s completely worth it. If you truly want to get into Financial Services this is a great company to start with and grow your practice.
