Good company to sponsor you for series 7 and get little experience

Business Outlook

Pros

Independence, make your own schedule, but remember you can only make as much money as the work you put into it.

Cons

Fees for everything, laptop usage, software usage, rent, monthly expenses can come to about $800 to $1000. You get paid better for insurance and annuities, not for mutual fund, or rollovers. If clients wants advisory account, not only you pay fee but also they pay fee. Advisors dont have control of anything, you need to consistently call home office for trades, or questions, pretty much everything.. If you'd like help from a veteran they want 50% of commissions, which they call joint work. Very little training and very little support from others unless you want to split your earnings.

Pros

The values are what make the decisions here. If it isn't best for the members, then it's not happening. That is discussed frequently, and it's important to believe in the company's mission to be engaged here. Volunteering is regularly encouraged and people really care. You can say "Merry Christmas!" and mean it :)

Cons

It's important to be proactive in seeking new opportunities. There are options to try things out, so be sure to use them or the opportunity may pass you by. Try to meet people in other divisions, as there isn't much communication with other areas that are not in line.
