I can't imagine doing anything else. This is my home.
Pros
I value that I'm able to be in a company where I get to retain my book of business and be trained by individuals who have much more experience. The opportunity to grow in this company as both manager and as an individual practitioner is something I always assumed I'd have to choose between. In this company, you get both. Work-life balance is something that you earn. Early-on, it can be tough to work through the system and develop. I like that I can overwork now to not have to work later.
Cons
There are times in this business where new reps are put on a team with a manager who is not as experienced or successful as other managers/VPs in the office. Newer reps shouldn't be penalized by their manager's inexperience. Those meetings, especially early in an advisor's career, should be ran by the highest producers in a order of efficiency. Whether it be PPMM to Plan or NAC per work week. Team leaders having a first right of refusal can create opportunities for the DM/VP but, hurt the advisor who is in the toughest part of their career.
