Axa is the stereotypical "hock retirement plans and do not get paid" financial firm

Financial representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

received the series 63 license

Cons

Had to pay for all licenses out of pocket. This company thrives on the outlast your teammates ideology. When your business partner leaves, you recieve their clients... when they replace the partner they will get all your clients when you leave. After a few rounds in a school very few teachers still want to discuss retirement plans. As a result your business drops and you need partners to leave in order to survive off their clients. Do not receive base salary until 6 months into the job. Have a lot in savings before starting or you will not survive. Average payout on a new client signed is three months.

Pros

You have the potential to run your own business if you have the network to do it.

Cons

They like to promote the company and working there by talking about their intense training program and their large retention rate. The training program is almost non-existent and all but 1 of the people I started with have since moved on.
