Pros

There aren’t really any, I suppose flexible schedule and learning about a company you don’t want to be apart of

Cons

Too many to list, most of the reviews here on glass door are from managers and current employees that were told by their managers to give good reviews. Why? Because the managers live off of churning new employees because they receive hiring bonuses and overrides on your sales. It is just your normal pyramid scheme, the company locks your clients into long contracts, makes you pay for everything yourself, and then tries to bill you for things you shouldn’t have to pay for when you leave. Company won’t be around much longer, other than a life lesson you won’t gain much from working here other than maybe a stepping stone to a real financial services company. Most of the guys that work here have no idea about financial planning and are really just insurance salesman. It’s is very rare you will find a portfolio built by an Axa advisor that will outperform the market. Take my advice, and instead of learning the hard way like I did, wait for a better opportunity.

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.
