Pros

Colleagues were good people, manager is very friendly and was very helpful. training was helpful in meetings multiple times a week.

Cons

System in which they implement starting Advisors by selling 403bs using yellow pad presentation was not the best. YMMV but some school districts were not open to work in, which made it much harder to get cases. Some things that were mentioned in the interview were twisted truths that needed other events to occur before the statements made would follow through.

Pros

Opportunity to use multiple companies through the AXA Network. Work/Life balance is good meaning you can go in to work and leave for home or work 4 days a week if you want just know that you only get paid for sales so it's in your best interest to hold yourself accountable and work 50+ hours

Cons

Management lacks in just about every department, they promise education training and support but after years with axa I'm no better off. They recruited me on the great team they had and that they would help take me to the next level since I was already a Financial Advisor. The team fell apart and new guys with no education or experience replaced them on the first week, and the few guys that had been there years had no idea how to train. I managed millions of dollars before joining axa and after years with axa I didn't pick up a single new client. Needless to say I can do much better with another company. Stay away from this one there are better opportunities if being an insurance and investment professional is your goal. They pay system is screwy, at almost all other firms you receive 1099 at AXA if you sell a $100 monthly life insurance policy you 'get' $50 a month for 12 months, however because of the w2 tax treatment the almost $600 in monthly fees for salesforce and 'technology' that never works you never actually 'get your $50 & REALLY expensive E & O. Theres way better opportunities
