Pros
-Many career paths to choose from with support, or carve your own path -Great support from leadership gives what feels like 3 years of experience in 1 year -Uncapped earning potential -Advisor access to categories of financial tools makes solving client problems fulfilling -Constantly evolving and growing -Leadership will always advocate for changes/improvements you believe will make your job better / easier / more fulfilling
Cons
Not cons for the right people, but things that could drive off people with these expectations: -requires a degree of self-direction, motivation, and drive. Leadership is there to empower you, but you need to choose and pursue your path with intention. -you will occupy many roles in this position. Sometimes you will be an advisor, a marketer, an event coordinator, or a leader. If you want to be or do one thing only, it will probably take time to carve out that position for yourself. -you never really "clock-out". If you get a call from a client on the weekend asking for quick advice or with a question about one of their accounts, you should probably take the time to answer it. This isn't usually time consuming, but if you're someone that doesn't want to think about work after 5pm no matter what, you may struggle in this role.
