Pros

Great training and every time I called the home office there was someone to help me.

Cons

The FA makes it or breaks it. My FA was rarely in the office and I was expected to make all the sales calls. I was told this was not a sales job but that is what I did. If you can find a FA that you can work with as a team I think it would be a good job. The pay is very low for the work you do and the raises are also very low. A $0.35/hour raise is not going to increase your standard of living. The FA gets all the credit and the BOA does all the work. You are a glorified secretary for your BOA. It is very lonely if your office is not a storefront.

Pros

Good salary, comfortable and accommodating hours with a long lunch break, comfortable office, good support through intranet and company network, pleasant clients

Cons

EJ must ensure that their advisors have the necessary skills to work with employees such as office administrators. The advisor I worked with was rude, angry, overly demanding, unorganized, inconsiderate, and had no idea what was going on in the office.

Pros

If you can survive for 5 years, the benefits are good. There is a health care plan and a 401K retirement plan for employees.

Cons

Very tough to get traction if you are not experienced. Forget about this job if you have thin skin. The amount of rejection you get is huge. 70% - 80% of the FAs fail at this job within 2 - 3 years.
