Pros

Training Program is excellent. They treat you very well, and they genuinely want you to succeed, but they won't lower the standards for anyone. Rote memorization is absolutely key for the first part of the training process. The company is going through a lot of positive changes.

Cons

Every office (there are a lot, all over the world) is every different. The leadership across offices can be inconsistent. The company's main focus is active duty military. It's really hard to create clients outside of that market.

Pros

- sticks to core values, genuinely desires to serve our military members - great mentorship through District Advisor and seasoned advisors in office - is concerned about each advisor and growing his/her business - incredibly flexible, hands-off management approach unless otherwise desired - incentivizes success, has my best interest at heart

Cons

- like any financial advising job, tough to get started - training program still could improve, has come a long way in the last 2 years - behind in the tech capabilities - sometimes short-staffed at home office,
