Pros
I've worked at Bankers for 10yrs now. I'm fortunate enough to help people from all walks of life. Im able to help them get a better understanding of what options they have as they transition into retirement or get a better understanding of new options that may be available to folks who are currently retired. My clients and colleagues alike have become friends for a life time, this is what makes our company great! I'm very lucky to have came for that 1st interview 10yrs ago, it truly changed me and my families life.
Cons
Success doesn't come without effort. You will get out of this career what you put in it. When I started I was just out of college. It takes discipline, drive, and determination to work when others leave early, to take the day off to goof off, or don't continue their education by learning products. The biggest Pro is the biggest Con. We have lots of freedom and flexibility with our schedule. As a new person when I came on board managing time was difficult. We go visit clients daily and when an appointment didn't pan out it was very easy to go home early or go play golf. I've learned successful people have to be willing do things unsuccessful aren't willing to do. This is where the discipline,drive and determination come into play.
