Being an Advisor

Pros

Great atmosphere depending on what district you are in. Unlimited income, flexible schedule. Get to make a difference in peoples lives. The dynamics of the job can be great. People who make it stay on for a long period of time.

Cons

Can work long hours, may have to tell people what they don't want to hear, rejection. Sometimes people have unrealistic expectations and they take it hard when you tell them the reality. Not everyone is ready to have a financial advisor in their lives.

Pros

At one of the field offices there are not many pros. Corporate headquarters is very nice and may have benefits not available at small local offices.

Cons

Very hard to make good commissions without selling whole life policies. Some district advisors may have been great advisors but have been promoted beyond their ability, which creates bad district work environment. There seems to be a culture of malicious gossip among some district advisors and management at corporate.
