Pros

There aren't really any except learning the industry and making friends with co-workers who are fighting for survival with you.

Cons

You will be thrust into a legal pyramid scheme. Your manager will coerce you into exploiting your friends and family for clients into terrible insurance products. When you burn through that you will cold call. The majority of positive reviews left for this company are from managers who rely on higher ratings so they can recruit more unsuspecting young people or from new advisers that that don't know any better yet that they asked to leave good reviews. You will sell insurance products and you will not learn true wealth management. This is a fair warning.....90% of people will hate working for this company. The turnover rate is EXTREMELY high.

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.
