Pros

Culture, Joint work, best practices, unlimited opportunity. It has been 10 years and hard to believe. The support I receive from Sr. Management is second to none. Top rated firm, reputable name, benefits galore! If I had the choice to work for AXA or any other firm in the industry, I would choose AXA hands down. Advice for new advisors: Be prepared to work hard. This is a challenging profession with a noble purpose. My income has increased 10 fold because of my effort. The beautiful part of this business is "hard work over rides all."

Cons

Challenging profession. Let's be honest...what opportunity isn't challenging where the payoff is well above $100,000?

Pros

Complete freedom to build your book of business anmd schedule.

Cons

Horrendous place to start. Managers run their own practice and have little to no time to actually help you outside of your joint meetings so you're on your own. They only give you 2 options to get clients, cold calling or their retirement benefits group through schools. Basically the whole advising piece is to just to sell life insurance and annuities. The support staff is thin so you're kind of on your own with paperwork and compliance docs. They just genuinely offer you nothing. No help with covering costs (you pay for all your licensing and marketing materials), they even charge you for using the company laptop and fees for programs you will never use. They will mislead you about the commission payouts and you only really get something if you get them to buy an annuity or life insurance. If you also have a remaining balance of any fees when you leave, they will literally sending you threatening letters demanding the money and threaten you with claims court if you don't pay it back.
