Individual planners around the country are, for the most part, compassionate and knowledgeable people. My own team is supportive and positive. Good base pay (virtually no raise, however). Annual bonus.
Cons
Frequent changes in leadership lead one to wonder what is happening behind the scenes, constantly. No one can state clearly what our competitive edge is in the marketplace, which is a red flag.
