Business Outlook

Pros

It is a very stable company that has been regarded globally as one of the MOST SUSTAINABLE COMPANIES IN THE WORLD. Compensation package is very competitive and can even exceed your expectations that is why they have a very low turn-over rate.

Cons

If you work as a Financial Advisor in the company, your income will be dependent only on your sales production which is through commissions. But income based on commission can be unlimited depending on the work load you are exerting.

A dysfunctional company from the view of a Financial Advisor

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Expanding their branding ( a lot of household recognition). Gave a number of perks/promotions to increase productivity.

Cons

An unnecessarily complex commission structure and seemed to hire sales managers without any management experience/qualifications. Equated sales prowess with being a good manager.
