Pros

Ability to make your own hours, good benefits, opportunity to be well compensated, own office, paid for training and to take securities tests.

Cons

Little to no assistance once you begin selling. Face a lot of rejection going door to door. NO help picking out a good market or help developing it. Little understanding for unique problems, strictly based on production numbers. Would not recommend for younger professional without a long list of previous contacts from another job such as insurance that you can bring with you.

Pros

They have allowed the HBA’s (home based associates) to remain remote

Cons

Micromanagers, they say they are okay if you want to apply to another department within the firm but the minute you do it’s like you get a target on your back. The pay doesn’t match the workload and the word is that you have to quit and then come back to make what you should already be getting paid. Benefits are terrible but 401k is pretty good
