Pros
They will train you and get you licensed. They will put you in a Branch and get you a BOA (Admin). They will put you on a performance chart that just goes up for five an a half years.
Cons
They will expect you to make your numbers or they will let you go. They will pay you much less on your gross (40%) than anyone else and then expect you to pay for all your marketing. You will also pay for ALL your expenses through your P&L from day one including all your buildout expenses. For the first three years you will have to SELL, SELL, SELL for you will not be able to do any fee base business. You will try and do what is best for your customer but when push come to shove (pay your bills or stay hired) you will look at finding trades. Over 30% of the FA have been with the firm less than three years so ruenover id hugh.
