Pros

Work here if you are an outgoing, diligent, sales-oriented person who has a passion for investments and tends to be able to gain influence with others. There is unlimited potential for those who do the work and can handle consistent rejection. Also, the company pays a modest salary and provides training for brokers during their first year.

Cons

You really have to be self-motivated and able to handle the trials of this job on your own. You can ask for help and support at any time, but you do have to ask. Four months after you are fully licensed as a broker, you must meet your commissions or start looking for a new job.

Pros

- Decent benefits programs. - Teammates who cared about the quality of work they provided and the people they worked with. - Direct superiors who were people of integrity that I respect immensely and wish nothing but the best for.

Cons

- Recent removal of remote work for all associates regardless of how long they had worked remotely previously (13 years in my case). This push to onsite work will damage long term profitability and likely cause a mass exodus of talented associates (if it has not already). - Massive amount of offshore outsourcing that has greatly reduced the quality of work at the home office. - Lack of flexibility regarding work schedules that has severely damaged work-life balance.
