Love what I do

Financial advisor

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Really love what I do with all of my clients. Yes it is hard work. Yes its alot of hours but it is all worth it. In my five years here I have learned alot about myself and my ability to overcome challenges. The advisors and Management here truly do care about the person not just the bottom line. The interview process is designed to weed out those that are here for the wrong reason and is extremely selective for a reason. This is not an easy career, in the first few years. Anything worth having and building is not going to come easy. Highly recommend building your career here! The training is a four year program and second to none in the Industry!

Cons

You have to be willing to commit the time and effort!

I could see it being way harder to be successful if you didn't have a great manager. HAVE to be motivated and a driver person, as it is a commission based role
