Pros

Paid Training, Patient with new FAs during licensing training, Flexibility

Cons

12 - 14 hour days with little return, no sales training and mediocre support post-licensure from both the field and corporate, Most markets are over saturated with EJ FAs. You will come across prospects who have already been prospected by multiple EJ FAs. Benefits are lacking

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
