Pros
If you're a cold calling machine...prepare to be a millionaire! Of the less than 1% who make it successfully the contracts and comissions are some of the highest in industry. They have joint partners and experts in all types of planning. They have advisors and offices everywhere! The experienced advisors are some of the best planners in the industry,very professional and polished. Great place for advisors who come with a market already and can easily achieve goals,you will make more money here.
Cons
Poor management Pre contract period where you give all your natural market with no comitment from axa No pay..at all...must put up over $500 out of pocket for exams.. Spray and pray environment........interview 1000 people...5 crazy people join..cold call till you die..see dozens come and go..demoralizing... Stressful environment with management breathing down your neck for calling hours, 15 appts etc.. If you do not raise between $3k to $7k in first 6 months...you're most likely done..and they keep your natural market will be passed on to another senior adviser..they claim work hours are flexible..but expect you there 8am to 8pm every day of the week..including Saturday... Many other companies are far more competitive than Axa in terms of initial compensation and you can get a contract right away somewhere else...people do not buy companies..they buy you One of the worse places for new people to start as an advisor
