Pros

The training to get your licenses is top notch. If you don't know how to sell, you will definitely learn and use what you learn immediately. There is a lot of freedom to create your own schedule and no one bothers you when you meet your numbers. Very strong culture and fellow co-workers are very helpful. The best place to start out in financial services.

Cons

You work by yourself quite a bit. Your success is soley based upon your ability to get people to trust you and give you large sums of money. The financial products are very limited and the firm is very conservative. Not a place for stock traders. In order to make it you must find people with large amounts of money and can be challenging to position yourself as an expert when you are just starting out.

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
