Pros

There is 3 weeks of vacation hours and 10 days of sick time (prorated depending on hire date). Vacation time is a use or lose plan (doesn't roll over). There are bonuses (prorated based on hire date) which are given out in February.

Cons

The offered salary was less than the asking salary. The Deerfield EVP is a Type A personality and has control issues . . . everything is the EVP's way or not at all. Expectation is to work after hours without pay and the company doesn't approve overtime. Unpaid lunch hour doesn't seem to be recognized and, if the EVP or an Advisor is asking for something, they need it right away. There is only 1 other daily employee there and the day can get boring and very quite when it's only 2 people in the office every day.

Pros

Accessible stepping stone into the industry. Flexibility

Cons

Little transparency for employees, high pressure annuities and insurance sales with little real education or support on product or sales practice knowledge. Expect long hours while you learn to do recordkeeping and support work on your own while trying to meet goals that make sense for someone with a few years of prior experience, staff to help with paperwork and recordkeeping, and a decent lead funnel. You may not get any of these depending on branch and territory but you will still have a performance goal to keep your base pay and benefits that feels absurd to the new entrants they primarily target for recruitment.
