Pros

You can build your business to any level. No cap on commissions. Base salary in the first two years while building residual income. The culture and teams are incredibly close. With the virtual state of the world, we have been able to run even more meetings with very experienced advisors. Two ways to get started building your book, and neither are "who do you know". Once you build up a book, you can set your own schedule, work remote if you want, and there's no limit on time off. Love what I do, and won't do anything else. PacNW branch has the highest per capita income, and the youngest advisor force, but a business doesn't happen over night.

Cons

The first 6 months are HARD. You have to put in the work, and if you're slacking off you're going to hate it. If you're willing to put in that work and ride out the initial challenges, then you'll never do anything else.

Pros

Friendly support staff Upside of income can be unlimited, almost completely commission based Will hire just about anyone with a pulse

Cons

No financial security with the minimal base salary Have you start in your natural market before you have any client facing experience Managers reap portion of commission from your sales, then you eventually are promised the chance to one day do the same when you build your own sales team (pyramid scheme?) Behaviors at times unethical when dealing with clients private information Looking to harvest peoples natural markets, squeezing your personal connections out for their own personal monetary gain
