Pros

You can make a lot of money from commissions, there is very little management interference in your own office, you can genuinely help some people to save and invest.

Cons

You only make money from certain types of investments and some investments are off the table altogether. Expectations are very high with great training to begin with but then you're left alone with no base salary or support. To compete you need to spend money on business club memberships, advertising and office related costs including postage, and without a base salary you are at a disadavntage to your local competitiors.

Pros

- Decent benefits programs. - Teammates who cared about the quality of work they provided and the people they worked with. - Direct superiors who were people of integrity that I respect immensely and wish nothing but the best for.

Cons

- Recent removal of remote work for all associates regardless of how long they had worked remotely previously (13 years in my case). This push to onsite work will damage long term profitability and likely cause a mass exodus of talented associates (if it has not already). - Massive amount of offshore outsourcing that has greatly reduced the quality of work at the home office. - Lack of flexibility regarding work schedules that has severely damaged work-life balance.
