Unorganized and over amped

Financial advisor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Generous commissions and flexible with working hours. Broad number of products within their niche and access to almost entire market portfolio within the insurance business.

Cons

Non-structured training with little or no official organizational goals except through computer training. Most of the successful management is relatively inaccessable or very arrogant. Many of their top producers are not savvy or educated in the current state of financial markets or their own internal systems and management doesn't seem to care. Alot of basic information is assumed and not taught (operational). No transparancy for many clients in terms of what is going to be charged or what is available because the Advisors' position is to only learn and sell the basic, most profitable products.
