Military! Family!

Business Outlook

Pros

This is the best place to get the support and training you need to be a financial advisor, and if you are a veteran or military or family of military it is even better. I have never met anyone who knows or cares more about the helping military families, and the culture of the company is all about praising and taking care of its people

Cons

The cons are specific to being a Financial Advisor, it is not an easy job, it requires you to put the work in, but their are few careers out there that will give you the same benefits and satisfaction.
