Pros

Paid training to complete the Series 66, Series 7, and state insurance exams. Atmosphere of everyone is here to help you. "Best in the Industry Training" however, I don't know how other companies train.

Cons

Door-knocking. Trying to contact 125 people a week with hopes of 1 yes. That's a lot of negativity to overcome! Sell your soul for a few YEARS. Constantly seeking/worrying about how you will earn your next paycheck. Despite everyone saying they're here to help, you often feel like you are isolated on your own island. Tiny salary that disappears.

Pros

- Decent benefits programs. - Teammates who cared about the quality of work they provided and the people they worked with. - Direct superiors who were people of integrity that I respect immensely and wish nothing but the best for.

Cons

- Recent removal of remote work for all associates regardless of how long they had worked remotely previously (13 years in my case). This push to onsite work will damage long term profitability and likely cause a mass exodus of talented associates (if it has not already). - Massive amount of offshore outsourcing that has greatly reduced the quality of work at the home office. - Lack of flexibility regarding work schedules that has severely damaged work-life balance.
