Pros

You largely get to choose your own hours, seeing as how you are employed by yourself. Get sponsorship for your licensing. . . good to have in finace.

Cons

It's an environment that is about selling. As in many "sales" positions you must sell and meet the numbers to be in good standing with management. Not a lot of opportunity for sophisticated financial planning

Pros

Great training program from the San Diego branch. This could be largely a function of the management at that particular location as I noticed that many other consultants from throughout the country were much less educated and savy when conversing with them at conventions and training functions. Good suite of products to offer.

Cons

The neccesity to sell a minimum amount of proprietary products in order to "validate", have your expenses covered, made it difficult to offer truly unbiased recommendations all the time. However, this is the case at most if not all large insurance/investment outfits.
