Pros

Earned and was reimbursed for my NY Insurance license and my Series 7 & 66 exams. Received some valuable insight into the workings of the financial industry.

Cons

I almost went bankrupt and nearly had a nervous breakdown. Spent the last month or two just spaced out, staring at my computer screen and wondering why I didn't continue studying to be an accountant. Highly aggressive sales and prospecting environment that encourages use of deceit and intellectual property misappropriation such as lifting corporate directories from conference rooms at target companies to gain access to prospects. Managing VP's tacitly condone misrepresenting relationship between AXA Advisors and other companies to add false legitimacy and get appointments. Advisors are routinely expelled/ banned from office buildings. You have to sell your soul to be successful. I saw through the lies pretty fast but was in deep denial, and chased a few opportunities that did not pan out. Hours are not flexible in reality, because your managing VP will guilt you into being there 12 hours a day. Watch out for the full of himself guy that has hair like a troll doll.

Pros

The people are great, and the flexible schedule is nice.

Cons

All of the compensation is very ambiguous. Definitely favors the firm, heavily. After I started, the "salary" that was pushed and sold as an option during the interview process, wasn't as advertised.
