Pros

Earning opportunity is high. Once you are doing well, you will stop worrying about commissions and focus on helping clients, which is a great feeling. The executive management team is solid; the company is conservatively managed; strong dividend history.

Cons

Be prepared to suffer through a period of low commissions. Offices are very unevenly managed. Make sure to ask rankings and just go to a top 10 office. The primary motivator is sales. Period. Some offices are less open to you using products from other companies, when appropriate, than others.

Pros

We do make a difference in people's lives. The Guardian portfolio and Living Balance Sheet is great.

Cons

Technology is slow to get updated. The training program needs to be tailored better towards the needs of the different levels of advisors. There is a lack of accountability across the board in management.

Pros

They have a strong product mix, some interesting proprietary tools for clients, and a solid financial history.

Cons

Chose the agency you join carefully. Career agents are tied into the payouts their General Agents offer, so decision to make a move could severely affect residual income streams you've built up!
