Pros

Good coworkers, work from home, training and licensing are covered

Cons

Commission grid is unbearably complicated, our yearly bonuses were taken away though we were told we would get them when hired. The only way to make any money is to shove clients in to annuities even if they aren’t a good fit. Told to do wholistic financial planning with clients yet not compensated at all when we do. Commissions work off three month averages so if you take a vacation and have one low month you’ll be punished for three. Management seems to be out of touch with how to keep employees.

Pros

Would have been a good opportunity IF it went through.

Cons

BEWARE! They do not disclose a very long and tedious interview process. 3 interviews with a post interview call. Background check, credit check, amongst multiple items to complete in portal. Many emails to respond to. Speaking with 4+employees throughout the process. Did NOT disclose that start date was 3 months post job posting.
