Pros

- A lot of young advisors - Some very successfuly advisors

Cons

- Management pushes products (Life & Annuity) - Products are expensive and complex - Stuck in an old pyramid schemer sales structure - They wont focus on assets / wrap fee - As you get a large amount of AUM the fee they take on those assets is a lot. - You don’t get a lot in return for the fee that take on your book - Most of the internal staff is under paid and therefore they are not good at moving the ball and making change

Pros

Accessible stepping stone into the industry. Flexibility

Cons

Little transparency for employees, high pressure annuities and insurance sales with little real education or support on product or sales practice knowledge. Expect long hours while you learn to do recordkeeping and support work on your own while trying to meet goals that make sense for someone with a few years of prior experience, staff to help with paperwork and recordkeeping, and a decent lead funnel. You may not get any of these depending on branch and territory but you will still have a performance goal to keep your base pay and benefits that feels absurd to the new entrants they primarily target for recruitment.
