Pros

You have your independence during the day. Most of the time you are your own boss.

Cons

The assistance they offer to provide is disorganized at best. The eDoc system is where new hires have to dig for fliers and tips to succeed and it's not very up-to-date. I constantly found fliers that were no longer current to todays economy being used by employees.The learning curve is steep and the help is limited. Most of the people you will work with have been employed for less than five years. The veterans are to busy or so far along with their career to give any thoughtful advice. The line I was fed over and over (which repulsed me ethically) was fake it until you make it. That's deplorable when you consider you're dealing with people's livelihood.

Pros

Very nice building. Staff seemed satisfied and content.

Cons

This company goes by Karr Barth Associates and AXA Advisors. They called in about 5 of us for a group interview and gave us more information about the company. Then they said they would be selecting two or three of us to come back. All the other candidates, including myself, had their master's degrees and so did everyone else I spoke with at the company. This gave me a few shreds of hope. I was called in for a second interview to speak with the president and was eventually told that I would have to pay $650-800 to get licensed and that I would have to draw from my "natural market". For those of you who don't know, that is people that you know like your parents, family, and friends. After that, I was told that I could go for 4-5 weeks without receiving a paycheck "due to the peaks and valleys associated with this type of career". Also, they asked that I work until 8pm and come in on weekends because, "It's not a job, it's a career business". Additionally, the president who interviewed me was writing on my resume the entire time I was speaking to him and not making eye contact with me or showing any other social vital signs. I did confirm my third interview (which I will not show up for) to show them that they are not the only ones who can waste other peoples' time.Thanks for the false hope and wasting my gas money. Stay away from this place.
