Pros

Commissions can be enormous if you hit the jackpot. You can make more money here than almost anywhere else. But the payoff comes at the cost of enduring a brutal culture, relentless pressure, and managers who thrive on control.

Cons

- Most people are either trapped in the same position with the same pay or have already escaped the company. - The work environment is relentlessly toxic. - Managers push advisors to hit impossible sales targets every day, week, and month. - Harassment is constant. - Each day grows more stressful and exhausting. - There is no quiet, no relief, and no moment to breathe. - Micromanaging and nonstop nagging dominate every interaction. - Commissions may rise, but base pay, position, and managerial cruelty never change. - The environment crushes energy and morale relentlessly.

Pros

No micromanagement, laid back environment

Cons

They constantly create false hope that it’s getting better but month after month it’s same. Extremely difficult to earn any commission so if you’re okay with $17/hr as your income Lead quality is horrendous, zero retention team so any deal you do sign is likely canceled with no effort to save from by retention.

We appreciate the feedback and want to address a few points directly. We do not promote false or misleading expectations regarding compensation or commission. Earnings are based on clearly defined performance metrics that are communicated upfront. While commission earnings can vary based on performance and consistency, many team members do successfully earn commission and find the role rewarding. Lastly, we maintain a dedicated retention team with established processes to actively review and retain eligible accounts whenever possible.

Pros

The office environment is clean and modern.

Cons

This place is a complete nightmare if you care about your sanity or ethics. The turnover is insane, most people quit within the first two months because the work is mentally draining and soul-crushing. You spend hours on the phones convincing people they have problems they don’t, which feels awful and leaves a pit in your stomach every day. Management acts like they’re gods, expecting you to worship the numbers while ignoring how miserable everyone is. The training is superficial and deceptive, giving the impression you can earn commissions, but the reality is that most never see a dime beyond the base pay. The culture is toxic, the pressure is terrible, and the constant churn makes it feel like no one actually cares about their employees.

All Sales activity is conducted in compliance with regulatory standards, and ethical conduct is a core expectation for every role. This is a performance-driven, phone-based position that requires consistency and resilience. Commission opportunities are clearly communicated, and many advisors successfully earn commission and build long-term careers with us. While not every role is the right fit for every individual, we remain committed to maintaining a professional and supportive environment and address leadership concerns promptly when needed.
