      Karr Barth/AXA Advisors

      Financial consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Karr Barth is one of the top AXA offices in the country for good reason. The training is second to none; coming from another broker/dealer and new to the business, the training I received and continue to receive at Karr Barth is amazing. Management does an extremely good job assisting new advisors in launching their business.

      Cons

      Being an advisor is extremely difficult--no one at Karr Barth will try and hide that from you. It is difficult for good reason, however. Other reviews cite having to pay for licensing or tapping your "natural market" as negatives. Launching a business that holds a tangible value has a cost up front. However, having ownership over your own business allows you the freedom to be as successful or unsuccessful as you want to be--there is no ceiling.

      Great people and company history, not sure of future.

      Senior operations manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good people. Challenging work in field. Generous time-off and family friendly policies. Company is embracing new technologies.

      Cons

      Continual restructuring and hierarchy changes each year. Little opportunity for advancement outside of Branch office if not in production role. Heavy sales and recruiting emphasis recognized over any staff contributions. Variable compensation influenced negatively by poor performance of company assets gathered in prior years often negating reward for current successes.

      An OK Advisory Firm

      Financial advisor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are good smart people that you work with that made it easy to come into work every day. There is access to a wide range of product.

      Cons

      The management was poor. They had an every man for themselves attitude. There was not much direction and guidance for new young advisors. They seem to care more about the money they make from their own clients instead of the overall performance of the whole office.
