Pros

Corporate training is so-so, and the facilities are top notch.

Cons

The end result is that if you're fresh off the boat, brand new in the business you've got MAYBE a one in 50 shot at making it. They promise you all the tools that you'll need to make it in the business, but in the end, you smile and dial and you fake it till you make it. A-Share Mutual funds and Variable Annuities with big nuts are the ONLY way you'll make it past year one.
