Pros
The name on your resume and the training program gets you the needed certification.
Cons
Absolutely zero practical training provided for actually understanding financial markets. The financial advisor role is simply a way they utilize human capital to gather assets and revenue for lazy old financial advisors and a bloated and overcompensated management structure. You will learn nothing except how to find a way to sell an annuity or new structured product IPO to each and every client you encounter. Then they will reduce your commission payout percentage each and every year regardless of how well you generate revenue cause to time weighting of their commssion structure reduces faster than AUM accumulation and revenue does in their weightings.
