Pros

Great culture and community atmosphere. Higher level producers are very knowledgeable and joint work is necessary.

Cons

The company is a great place if you have an established practice. Otherwise, the training program has a lot of room for improvement.

Pros

I have been with AXA for about 8 years now and could not be happier. Not only do we have a great culture (won first place in Hawaii Business Magazine's best place to work survey for 2017 and 2018!) but performance wise have been doing great as well (won top branch in the country for the company in 2016 and 2017!). The training program is second to none and is focused on making sure that advisors get the mentorship and support that they need in all aspects of their business.

Cons

None that I can think of

Pros

Entrepreneurial focused, ability to build your own practice, variable compensation based on your ability to get the job done, comprehensive training program, quick trajectory to management level and beyond, great atmosphere and team culture, ability to build your own firm and re-brand yourself, great health insurance, very competitive 401k match and stock options available

Cons

This job is not for someone who wants a 9-5, if you want a career where you can take control of your own destiny, this is the one for you

Pros

Training/Mentorship/Culture/Compensation: Starting my career as a financial advisor was nerve racking - I had virtually no background in finance and was fresh out of college. AXA Advisors here in SF has a phenomenal training program that provides you not only with the product knowledge, but the sales skills you need to hit the ground running in this career. I was quickly able to make up for my age with the knowledge I gained of the industry. On top of that, the office encourages joint work. Being surrounded by mentors who are willing and able to go help you close business not only enhances your skills even further, but allows you to see success at an early stage. With that said, there is no limit as to how much money you can make. Now, you have to put in the time because you will only be as successful as the work you put in but with those terms, the sky is the limit. I thoroughly enjoy coming to work each and every day. I am surrounded by great, intelligent people who push each other to work hard. This career is something I see myself in for the long run - specifically because of AXA.

Cons

This is an entrepreneurial job. It is hard work and may not be for everyone - but extremely rewarding if you stick with it.

Pros

Can make your own schedule

Cons

Sales position, not actual financial planning Starting salary is a joke No concrete training program so you are constantly asking for help from senior advisers which cuts in to your commissions Constant pressure to hit your numbers for validations
