Pros

You can make a lot of money if it works out... They provide office space and leads. FFA pays for your licensing fees to the state. Most independent shops make you pay those fees yourself. They train you in sales and once you can set appointments you move on to financial planning classes. The culture is laid back. There is literally no HR You can vape in the office. You can drink in the office. Adderall openly flows

Cons

300 calls/10 appointments a week minimum - the job can be a GRIND No benefits, base salary, or 401k. Independent contractor type of job It's kind of a start up You usually don't make much money in the beginning. Success comes not at all then all at once. Here's what you'll do: 1. Download target contact info from websites that sell this information (Zoominfo.com) 2. Add these people on LinkedIn 3. Cold call them offering financial advice 4. Run them through a series of meetings and make recommendations on product (usually annuities, insurance, or managed money) 5. Repeat forever Your job starts out cold calling and setting meetings to be run by managers in the office (who take a small cut of the sale but close the business). Once you get good at that you start running meetings yourself and get the opportunity to make a cut of others sales. Eventually you get given a team who you run their meetings but this could be almost anytime, even weekends. Not much work/life balance but you could make good money once you start running meetings for your team.
