      Pros

      The product training was very intensive and detailed. Most of the people were pretty good there, and the opportunity to be successful is definitely there

      Cons

      Unfortunately, not all of the people are good. There was a lot of disorganization at the "rfo" level (this is the management of the area, like state of PA, or the NY/NJ area etc) in my area, there were layoffs, and it left the launch managers thin in dealing with the newer reps. Communication was poor because of how thin everything was stretched and everyone tells you to do something a different way. They have a good model to help reps be successful, but they just can't execute it.

      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).

      Great Company (if you don't mind commission)

      Pros

      Being a faith based organization, the company does things the right way. Throught out the economic downturn I feel strongly about the companies strength. This makes it easy to see your clients each week. They pay a commission advance for new hires and reimburse the costs of all testing.

      Cons

      I am unsure of the competiveness of the commission structure. It feels difficult to have the "big week" that is necessary to do things like pay your taxes or put a down payment on a car. I feel that when you have a couple poor weeks there can be a little over concern by the management about the reasons causing added pressure.
