Pros

Like others have said, it is a good place to get licensed I suppose. It is a one sided sales approach, lots of insurance. old, stable company that is helpful in the tumultuous times.

Cons

When I left, they are trying to collect on almost $20,000 of commissions I earned because I did not stay through the life of the insurance product. Do NOT, I repeat Do NOT take advance commissions, which is industry standard. I can not imagine that people have to write checks to leave other firms. Policies are clear as mud.

Pros

Flexibility, Licensing, Insurance, Large, Ads

Cons

Great place to get licensed, but not the best place for guidance. I feel the company's recommendations to the client are not always in line with what I would do for the client, if I were able. The company has many difference SMA platiforms like but very little training on each of them. Furthermore, they say you are independent, but really they want you to sell AXA products. Compliance wants to know just about EVERYTHING about you.... like do you have a baseball card collection, are on you on your HOA's board.... What is the brand of motor oil you use....
