Pros

you could make great commission if you get your business up and running.

Cons

they throw you out to the wolves day 1. Training is poor. Cold calling is the only way to survive. No help of any kind is apparent. Long hours, no salary, leads are non-existent

Pros

A sales job with decent earning potential. Access to full brokerage outside of insurance/annuities. Reasonable sales goals.

Cons

Passes on (forcefully in some cases) literally every cost you can imagine to the advisor. Completely opaque compensation structure that is extremely time consuming to track to see if the company is stealing from you after passing on every cost. Useless middlemen/whole saler types in a company filled with middlemen. Worst of all, as a Life Insurance Company, the only universally loathed department within the company is AXA's very own underwriting/national operations life insurance processing unit. The company itself may profit from some of the "tools" it "provides" (charged to the advisor)
