      Business outlook

      Pros

      If you desire independence, income, and impact, this is the place for you. You will grow more than you have ever grown. You will help others and put their needs above yours. You will build a purposeful life by design. You will have a world class development team and support systems for you to succeed. You will have enterprise value in what you are building. It is YOUR business. You will be able to sell it one day or pass it down to a successor. You will create passive income for yourself. You will have the ability to be with your children in the morning and family time at night and on the weekends.

      Cons

      You have to build your own book of business. That is not easy. If anything is worth having in this life, it will be hard. To get in shape is hard, to create financial freedom is hard, to build a business is hard. Living a life without purpose or meaning is also hard. Choose your hard. The worst thing that happens in this busienss is someone telling you no. Compared to the men and women fighting for our country abroad or patrolling the streets, laborers working outside in the heat, getting told no while in a fancy office, dressed nice, and in the AC, its not that bad. I'll take that environment any day. If you don't mind being told no from time to time, then you will be fine. You can build an amazing life for yourself.

      Pros

      I love our network office in DTLA! I was a referred into the company and have met some of the most genuinely kind and hardworking people I've ever met in the corporate world. There is ton of development opportunities for staff and financial advisors. I feel like I can have real influence in the workplace and people go out of their way to make you feel appreciated and seen. We are growing office so there are a lot of opportunities for ambitious individuals to flourish.

      Cons

      It's hard work but super fulfilling! I admire the work our FRs do on a daily basis and do what I can to help them do their job well across our network office.
