Pros

You will learn what a bad firm truly is, and to avoid them in the future. You will gain some sort of sales experience and advising experience, good entry job and bounce off point after 8 - 12 months.

Cons

I will keep this short. Pay, management, structure, lack of training, absurd sales goals, no guidance, having to pay for EVERYTHING on your own, you will not a work-life balance and if you want some, management will shame you and tell you that you will fail. It takes years to make any real income.

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.
