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

Company lives its work-live balance culture and its values; depends on the region though.

Cons

benefits, training and promotion dont enter into the situation until you have proven that you can sell. Training is scant, benefits are unclear and promotion appears purely political

Pros

Opportunity to help clients build a true financial plan, work with service members to maximize their benefits and plan for their transition, and no better opportunity for a truly rewarding career in the financial services industry. I started with this company at 22 and seven years later I could not have made a better choice.

Cons

No hidden illusion of success. You get what you put into this career. Nothing is given to you, but following field leadership's guidance and putting your heart and soul into this career will yield results.
