      Pros

      Unlimited potential to build your book of business as fast and as big as you can, unlimited product offerings, great culture of hard work and dedicated advisors

      Cons

      It's very hard at first, starting from scratch and having to learn to be a financial advisor overnight, training program helps overcome a lot of the fear but still hard work

      Starting a career as a Financial Planner/Advisor

      Pros

      I can't think of any other possible entrepreneurial opportunity where you can begin with no start-up money and build a business that can pay you for what you did year 1, for your whole career. The management team is extremely dedicated to the success of their Advisors. I started in the business over 10 years ago without a strong natural market and was able to build a financial planning practice where I am able to make my own hours, help the people I really care about, and control my income. The atmosphere is very competitive and team oriented and is excellent for previous athletes like myself.

      Cons

      If you do not want to work a lot of hours at the beginning of your career, or you do not have the entrepreneurial spirit, this is not the place for you. This is a very demanding business and takes a lot of time to build. There is times you have to invest in yourself and your business, so if you do not want to spend your own money to help yourself grow, this will be a bad fit as well.
