Pros

This job could be what you make of it because it is sales based and if you work hard you could potentially make a lot of money. There was a mix of WFH and in-office days. For the first 30-60 days you have a lot of training and help to succeed in getting the proper licensing.

Cons

Sadly it felt like you were thrown into the deep end after the first 60 days and left to sink or swim on your own. Incredibly high-stress environment while dealing with large financial decisions with clients. The Columbia office was also not very diverse, which definitely affected the working atmosphere.
