Pros

Management stays off your back as long as you are hitting your numbers. You are truly on your own, but plenty of support is there if you want it.

Cons

Rigid field supervision policies, far exceeding SEC regulations. They seem to question a lot of moves you make (trying to make sure it is not being done in the name of making commission).

Pros

The training to get your licenses is top notch. If you don't know how to sell, you will definitely learn and use what you learn immediately. There is a lot of freedom to create your own schedule and no one bothers you when you meet your numbers. Very strong culture and fellow co-workers are very helpful. The best place to start out in financial services.

Cons

You work by yourself quite a bit. Your success is soley based upon your ability to get people to trust you and give you large sums of money. The financial products are very limited and the firm is very conservative. Not a place for stock traders. In order to make it you must find people with large amounts of money and can be challenging to position yourself as an expert when you are just starting out.
