Pros

Good Product Training on Proprietary Products. Manager support can be great, if you get the right manager. IT and systems support are great. Network of outside product offerings is generally good. Joint work can be good depending on the partner.

Cons

General Sales Training can be "iffy" Non Propietary product training and support (DI, LTC, Securities,etc.) needs more emphasis, if you're going to claim that you provide comprehensive financial planning services. Turnover of people (experienced & newbies) is high.

Pros

Flexible Schedule - may take many sick days if you are on hourly wage Nice co-workers - the staff are friendly Relaxed environment - it doesn't seem that there are a lot of performance goals

Cons

More of an 'I' spirit than a 'team' spirit Not much advancement for staff (those that are not financial advisors)
