      Pros

      Makes $$$, offers a pension (though now less attractive due to benefit reduction), good, caring coworkers, advancement opportunities expecially for career oriented women.

      Cons

      Horrible work/life balance, viewes as an expense vs employee, disfavors tenured staff, new senior management does not learn what does not work but only wants to implement what worked at last company (regardless of the outdated systems can't handle) to ensure officer bonus. 401K match and extra $$$ not as good now even though company has banner years. All extra goes to senior management.

      Great potential if you can make it.

      Pros

      Earning opportunity is high. Once you are doing well, you will stop worrying about commissions and focus on helping clients, which is a great feeling. The executive management team is solid; the company is conservatively managed; strong dividend history.

      Cons

      Be prepared to suffer through a period of low commissions. Offices are very unevenly managed. Make sure to ask rankings and just go to a top 10 office. The primary motivator is sales. Period. Some offices are less open to you using products from other companies, when appropriate, than others.
