Business Outlook

Pros

If you are a "Type A" personality willing to prospect all your own clients your earning potential is limitless. Decent Commission Structure.

Cons

Benefits dependent on the amount of business you bring in. Hours cold calling and email prospecting. Focus on selling rather than financial planning. Focus on volume, avg case size is small and you'll need to acquire about 100 average clients per year to survive. Salary option is extremely low.

Incredible Opportunity

Business Outlook

Pros

I have loved working here the past year! I have complete freedom over my own schedule, upward growth, and income. Leadership is extremely supportive and pushes us hard. I feel like my manager is more of a resource than a boss. The culture is competitive and fun and makes the long hours totally worth it.

Cons

Don't work here if you are not self disciplined, not willing to put in a ton of work or want a stable income. Starting out income is slow and the testing is hard, but once you get through that it is totally worth it. This career is for people who want to put in work and overcome challenges to build a business with residual income, total freedom, and better long term rewards than almost any other career.
