Pros

They will give people a chance to be a financial advisor that don't have a big book to tranfer, like other companies look for.

Cons

They don't care about the people out doorknocking. If you are not making money for them they will cut you quick. It is in insanely hard thing to do, especially in the current environment and market conditions. They are also very conservitive and believet that every investor needs class A shares of American Funds. You are basically trained that all annuities and fee-based accounts are bad even though they can be a great fit for many investors.

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.
