Hard work, but pays off

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

You get what you give, your salary is dependent upon the effort you put in

Cons

You have to put a lot of work in to get where you want, and you won't get where you want within a few months. It'll take years to build a business you're comfortable with. With that being said, it's worth it if this is a field you're passionate about.

Building a Business

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

You can build your business to any level. No cap on commissions. Base salary in the first two years while building residual income. The culture and teams are incredibly close. With the virtual state of the world, we have been able to run even more meetings with very experienced advisors. Two ways to get started building your book, and neither are "who do you know". Once you build up a book, you can set your own schedule, work remote if you want, and there's no limit on time off. Love what I do, and won't do anything else. PacNW branch has the highest per capita income, and the youngest advisor force, but a business doesn't happen over night.

Cons

The first 6 months are HARD. You have to put in the work, and if you're slacking off you're going to hate it. If you're willing to put in that work and ride out the initial challenges, then you'll never do anything else.

24k base and 50% commission

Pros

You can make a lot of money if you can set appointments. The senior advisors know how to close the deal with clients. If you're a good salesperson you will thrive in this field.

Cons

You have to build your book of business. Whether thats warm market or cold calling. If you're not comfortable with rejection and putting yourself out there this isn't the job for you. You have to put in a lot of hours into building your business.
