Pros

Financially solid company with great products! I'm sure corporate / salaried employees do well, since there is so much money in the basement.

Cons

Life Insurance is viewed by most people as unnecessary, since it can only benefit someone else upon death. Approaching potential clients with smoke and mirrors adds to the distrust, especially when dealing with business savvy individuals. San Francisco agency lacks direction, training classes lack structure and most promises fall short.

Pros

Simply nothing other then Penn's record of paying dividends for past 9 years.

Cons

I was directly recruited to fill a VP role and help recruit & train new advisors. Everything I was told turned to be 180% different before signing. To say I was misled and lied to wouldn't scratch the service. I have 25 years in the biz, horrible on boarding process. Young middle manager doesn't have a clue, what a waste of my time.
