      Pros

      Awesome people, fun company-sponsored events. You have no real limit in income if you're willing to sacrifice all your free time for 2-5 years to build a base.

      Cons

      Heavy emphasis on using Principal products (not always the best available) and antiquated sales training. The costs associated with being an advisor start small but ratchet up within 1-2 years (office rent, admin costs, technology fees, etc)
