Pros

All the benefits of being self employed with none of the capital outlay. Culture is great. Home office support is great.

Cons

Not really any downsides, but you have to have a particular personality, work ethic to be successful. They dont really micromanage you unless you are not meeting expectations. Then, from what I hear, they can be pretty firm with you. This job is certainly not for everyone.

Pros

I enjoy being the only admin in the office. No conflict with who handles what responsibility. I enjoy helping my broker build the business and it's great to have a broker who appreciates my efforts and input. It's rewarding to feel a part of a team rather than being just another body behind a computer. Sometimes rather unusual or unique situations present themselves and it does help that assistance is only a phone call or a mouse click away and generally, you are given the correct information to complete any task. I apperciate that Jones is a conservative company and that they keep the welfare of the clients as a priority.

Cons

You can feel isolated at times working in a branch office. They are changing the technologies, which is good, but you no sooner learn one way of doing something and the next day what you know is now mute. I think that it would be better to have some classroom training for the new BOAs rather than leaving them to study alone. Help is always no father away than the phone, however, I think having the opportunity to be in a class enviornment where there is an instructor to demonstrate how to use the various systems would be of a great benefit.
