Pros

Both the management and executive management have been very supportive. The atmosphere is awesome and the support staff will go out of their way to help you.

Cons

i do not have any cons about this job. Is it hard absolutely, do you work long hours, absolutely, but when you help someone take care of their future, it is very cool.

Pros

If you have a manager that is devoted to your success and building a team as well as a branch with a culture that breeds success, all you need is to be willing to work hard (12 hour days during week, come in on some weekends). Pays off in long run if you are so inclined to work hard. Provides superb opportunities for advancement if you are willing to work for it Above average compensation package

Cons

You're likely not going to make much money in your first 6 months unless you have a strong natural market (friends and family) so you need a support system or money to fall back on until your practice gets up and running. Be ready to suffer for 1-4 years before you have a self-sustaining practice. Management gears towards selling proprietary products although you are not required to

Pros

Great training and leadership. Benefits are satisfactory and the compensation is straight commission. Be prepared to work hard if you plan to be successful.

Cons

The challenge I found after a few years was generating new business. This business requires many referrals and is based on the number of relationships you can develop and maintain.
