Pros

Great place to work if you want to make your own schedule. Has a great name, very conservative and I believe truly has the clients best interest at heart. Good potential for long career.

Cons

Straight commission. They tell you that all that is required is hard work to be successful. Location of your office matters, despite what they say. If you work there make sure your area has good prospects. Plan on knocking on a lot of doors. Also, somewhat behind the times in technology and advice. A little too stagnant. Also, they always hold the carrot out there of 5 ways to get paid, but you have to bust your behind to make the numbers. In all truth you are a salesman first and foremost.

Pros

They have allowed the HBA’s (home based associates) to remain remote

Cons

Micromanagers, they say they are okay if you want to apply to another department within the firm but the minute you do it’s like you get a target on your back. The pay doesn’t match the workload and the word is that you have to quit and then come back to make what you should already be getting paid. Benefits are terrible but 401k is pretty good
