Pros

Extensive training in both sales and products. Freedom to concentrate on any area of business you like. Minimal supervision although most senior FAs are very willing to help. Earn full commissions on minimal production across all product lines.

Cons

Low pay to start makes it tough unless there is another income in family. Same as pro: Success or Failure is 100% under your control. Need to be self-motivated. Quality of DMs varies.

Pros

Freedom, good commissions, access to other insurance carriers, LPL Financial for advisory business, good benefits, stock purchase plan, pension

Cons

No base salary offered in Manasquan. Recycled leads that everyone in the office already called. Encouraged to push insurance products, even though we are calling ourselves advisors.
