      Just another sales job

      Financial representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      the ability to set your own work schedule and hours is nice but no different than most other sales jobs.

      Cons

      the company pretends to be different than other financial services companies but the reality is it is just another sales job with pressure to do more more more without much concern for the customer.

      It is what it is

      Financial associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You have a lot of control over what you spend your time doing. There is great upside financial opportunity if you can get off to a good start. If you struggle early on the rate of success drops tremendously.

      Cons

      The cost of doing business is really high between office rent, computer fees, and marketing costs you can really dig yourself a hole quickly. There is very little interest in whether you do well or not.

      Don't let this be your only household income!!

      Financial representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very high moral values as this is a non-profit faith-based Fortune 500 company (#409 for 2009). Very good financials, not much in the news at all (very good strength). Very solid first year advisor/representative performance bonus system. You are fairly given 'move-ins' who may be a member in another state and these members are fairly distributed among team members in your local office or coverage area. Good sign-on bonus system for new reps who are transferring their licensing from another financial services company. Good 3 week training program to have new advisors get used to product and how to present solutions.

      Cons

      Since they are non-profit, you have to pay rent to have an office. No assistance from the company with this. This is typically $600-$800/month. You are often provided a database of clients who have been picked through by the more senior members of the team. Having "...for Lutherans" turns many folks off to the misconception that they have to convert from their current religion to buy certain products. (There are also other associations by way you can be a member, which aren't clearly identified).
