Pros

I have loved working here the past year! I have complete freedom over my own schedule, upward growth, and income. Leadership is extremely supportive and pushes us hard. I feel like my manager is more of a resource than a boss. The culture is competitive and fun and makes the long hours totally worth it.

Cons

Don't work here if you are not self disciplined, not willing to put in a ton of work or want a stable income. Starting out income is slow and the testing is hard, but once you get through that it is totally worth it. This career is for people who want to put in work and overcome challenges to build a business with residual income, total freedom, and better long term rewards than almost any other career.

Pros

Complete freedom to build your book of business anmd schedule.

Cons

Horrendous place to start. Managers run their own practice and have little to no time to actually help you outside of your joint meetings so you're on your own. They only give you 2 options to get clients, cold calling or their retirement benefits group through schools. Basically the whole advising piece is to just to sell life insurance and annuities. The support staff is thin so you're kind of on your own with paperwork and compliance docs. They just genuinely offer you nothing. No help with covering costs (you pay for all your licensing and marketing materials), they even charge you for using the company laptop and fees for programs you will never use. They will mislead you about the commission payouts and you only really get something if you get them to buy an annuity or life insurance. If you also have a remaining balance of any fees when you leave, they will literally sending you threatening letters demanding the money and threaten you with claims court if you don't pay it back.
