Pros

Company is very strong investing in the training of new advisors. Fund companies, life companies, and annuity vendors service you quite well. Trying very hard to build up women advisors. Health benefits fair. Working at Home office is very positive.

Cons

Start out for months going door to door! Leadership determines who will succeed and fail. Large assets are given discriminately. Promises are not kept. 20% commission first couple of years 30% commission your 3rd year. So if you are not the chosen one to receive a large asset base you are in trouble. I was exceeding expectations throughout only to see $20,000,000 handed to new college graduates barely meeting expectations.

Pros

- Decent benefits programs. - Teammates who cared about the quality of work they provided and the people they worked with. - Direct superiors who were people of integrity that I respect immensely and wish nothing but the best for.

Cons

- Recent removal of remote work for all associates regardless of how long they had worked remotely previously (13 years in my case). This push to onsite work will damage long term profitability and likely cause a mass exodus of talented associates (if it has not already). - Massive amount of offshore outsourcing that has greatly reduced the quality of work at the home office. - Lack of flexibility regarding work schedules that has severely damaged work-life balance.
