      Good place to work, but don't believe all the hype.

      Pros

      Great place to work if you want to make your own schedule. Has a great name, very conservative and I believe truly has the clients best interest at heart. Good potential for long career.

      Cons

      Straight commission. They tell you that all that is required is hard work to be successful. Location of your office matters, despite what they say. If you work there make sure your area has good prospects. Plan on knocking on a lot of doors. Also, somewhat behind the times in technology and advice. A little too stagnant. Also, they always hold the carrot out there of 5 ways to get paid, but you have to bust your behind to make the numbers. In all truth you are a salesman first and foremost.

      Pros

      Paid holidays,sick time and vacation. Great training and home office support.

      Cons

      Isolating and no creativity allowed.Can end up working with an FA who is more like a snake-oil salesman. Low pay. Very competitive with each other. Loyalty is overrated,lots of rumors and gossip. Poor regional leadership.

      Pros

      Great opportunity to make a lot of money and one day be your own boss of sorts. Great training (by far the best in the industry from everyone I have ever talked to and they only one where they pay you while you study) and perks like dinners and parties. You are paid to study and get your Series 7 and 66 and insurance licence and you are also paid a salary that tapers off as you go through your first year and your commisions begin to increase.

      Cons

      As a financial advisor you need to work about 60-80 hours per week to get done what they expect of you. You are paid barely above min. wage but get a lot of overtime and double time working so much. I made about 2300-2500 per month before I was eligible to recieve comission. You are very busy all the time. Start at 7am reading emails and checking the 400 messages you get through their system. 9am: Doorknocking (yes, doorknocking) until about 5pm. Then you probably have a meeting of some sort or a dinner to go to (which is actually a meeting too) until 7 or 8pm then you get to come home and put tons of info into your computer for a couple hours and then you have to spend another hour getting ready to do it all over again tomorrow. I am not the best salesman so it was difficult for me to get sales but the doorknocking itself was not as bad as I thought it would be but you do need thick skin at times.
