Pros

Helping clients with retirement planning.

Cons

Outdated marketing plan -- door knock, door knock, cold call, door knock Extremely low pay for work performed, not competitive with other financial firms. Crazy people who act like they are in a cult Outrageous hours Low pay, I think I already said that!!! No work life balance The meetings are all company pep rallies to convince you of the job They will tell you to door knock, door knock, every chance they get Working there is a Con period, not good for your life..run like hell. I hate it there, attrition is rampant.

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
