      Pros

      AXA Advisors is a great place to learn the business and build a thriving financial practice, covering planning, asset management, and risk management. The company provides a combination of online learning, classroom learning, and mentoring. The benefits include commissions, stock options, 401K, and pension plan. Successful advisers typically make over $100,000 after three to four years.

      Cons

      The company makes clear that it is looking for people who are entrepreneurial. This job is not easy. Fewer than 20% of the people that start at AXA Advisors (similar to industry avg.) can make it a career. Advisers after six months most pay E&O insurance, software licensing fee, etc. It adds up, if you're not making money.

      Pros

      Wide variety of resources since the company is international . Company provides decent sales training if you are new to sales. You will virtually be just a salesman who calls themselves a "Financial Advisor" and you don't even have to have any type of financial background to be a financial advisor which is totally ridiculously sad but true

      Cons

      Company will tell you whatever they think you want to hear to get you in the door. They will tell you that you will earn 100k + if you just work hard which only 2% of advisors really make annually . Most advisors make around 20k their first year and you will be fired if you don't meet certain quotas. It's a revolving door company policy and after most employees really see what the company is about they leave. There is over a 60% turnover rate annually so you can do the math
