Pros

Great name recongition. Excellent sales training. Excellent training for Series 7 license. Excellent support from veteran FAs. Help with some salary the first year. Overall good culture.

Cons

6 - 8 hours a day of door knocking over a period of 2 years can be phycially challenging. Make your number or you are gone - no discussion. Not enough training on investing, financial planning etc.

Pros

They give you all the resources to become a successful advisor especially the first year. You have your own office in the area you will be conducting your business. Great support from your fellow advisors. The culture is set that way.

Cons

After the first 2 months training, you HAVE to pass the series 7 license exam the first time or you will be terminated from the company. You have to be comfortable door knocking as this is the primary way of prospecting and getting your clients. Be prepared to study a lot cause if you don't then you'll be out of a job
