Pros

They give you all the resources to become a successful advisor especially the first year. You have your own office in the area you will be conducting your business. Great support from your fellow advisors. The culture is set that way.

Cons

After the first 2 months training, you HAVE to pass the series 7 license exam the first time or you will be terminated from the company. You have to be comfortable door knocking as this is the primary way of prospecting and getting your clients. Be prepared to study a lot cause if you don't then you'll be out of a job

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.
