Great experience and helpful people - working with Elisha Weiss at AXA Advisors

Financial advisor intern

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good and supportive environment to work and helpful people. You can learn how real financial advisors work at AXA (I've been working for Eli Weiss and Barry Rindenow) that will help you establish your career path. Solid training program. I have learned about various financial products.

Cons

The work is not easy, long hours, and sometimes difficult to understand.

Pros

The more you work, the more potential there is to grow and get compensated. Great flexibility and pay structure. Good training program for new employees (thanks to experienced management team).

Cons

No major complaints. Just be prepared to work A LOT - but at least it pays off unlike with other jobs where you may work a lot and not see the results.

Good Company, Poor training

Pros

AXA is a strong company that offers a nice variety of investment options. The pay is very good once you get established, and the benefits are obviously good.

Cons

The training program could use some work. You really are on your own to establish yourself.

Good learning experience, wouldn't recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of resources, strong insurance brands, LPL Financial Brokerage Platform

Cons

Commission Only, Extremely high cost to operate your practice (at least 20-30k per year), Nickel and dimed for supbar technology and marketing material. No formal training program with a focus on small account production. Compensation & Benefits are too tied to your insurance production. They claim independent open-architecture but the only products they really want you to sell is AXA Equitable Life Insurance and Annuities.

Not what they advertise it to be

Business Outlook

Pros

You have the potential to run your own business if you have the network to do it.

Cons

They like to promote the company and working there by talking about their intense training program and their large retention rate. The training program is almost non-existent and all but 1 of the people I started with have since moved on.

Pros

Unlimited potential to build your book of business as fast and as big as you can, unlimited product offerings, great culture of hard work and dedicated advisors

Cons

It's very hard at first, starting from scratch and having to learn to be a financial advisor overnight, training program helps overcome a lot of the fear but still hard work
