      Awesome if your district and branch managers are good

      Financial consultant - sales force associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -This is going to depend entirely on which branch you're based out of but the leadership is friendly and there are always people looking to help anyone who's new. -Lot's of flexibility with hours and time off -Eat what you kill (commission; "pro" if you're good) -Unlimited earning potential

      Cons

      -Not a 40 hours a week/9-5 job. If you want to survive, you'll work at least 50 every week. -Eat what you kill (commission) -Lots of "no", you have to have thick skin -High rate of attrition (same as anyone in the business)

      growing experience

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Despite the cons, it's definitely a place where you'll experience the most character development. It'll force you to either give up the comfort of a high paycheck in the beginning or to have you reach out and network with people you never thought you would talk to for life. But through these processes, it's personal growth and relationship building, whether you made a sale or not at the end of the day. Plus as AXA advertises, it's not about selling but about helping, which I genuinely believe it's true otherwise I would've never even stepped in this industry if the company or the industry is not filled with people who are kind at heart. I was there for 6 months but I believe I've seen both the goods and the bads. I still believe given the motivation and passion in insurance and retirement planning and a kind heart, you will succeed. Also you will meet some of the smartest coworkers because they all have good degrees. Despite the fact that most people don't make it, those that do are high-achieving and intelligent.

      Cons

      It's more on you to make a difference. Not so much relying on the manager or the company to push you. No parking. No base salary in the beginning. A lot of cold-calling before successfully building that referral network. Definitely not for everyone.
