      Pros

      They have Good Product to offer to your client,

      Cons

      If you are a new Hire, be ready to quit because they really need a trainer to help you be successful. Be ready to struggle the hard way, not by physical force, but on your persuasive and analytical skills. You must overcome your fearness to be a failure and become a winner. You must show you are charismatic with people and good listener, and good talker specially on the phone. Your stress lever and blood pressure will be high, make sure you have your proper medication handy. This will help you be successful. you are on your own running the show. The lack of support is very slow and you need to make move to survive. But if you are a person with positive attitude and willing to go all in and take risk until you make it. This place is ideal. Sky is the limit. it would be great you if you get lucky and have a mentor, or trainer to show you all of this. But hate to say this, this company doesn't have one. you need to figure this out by yourself. in fairness if this company want to be a great company, hire a trainer. This job is for winner only, or experience advisor. if you are not a winner, please quit and look for something else.

      Pros

      Good place for career changers to get financial licenses (they will license anybody)

      Cons

      Very bad pay model for new hires- will tell you 6% commissions on certain products but then you have to kick up 10% to your manager and the other half of what's left to whoever is working w you because they make you go out in pairs...and mostly seem want to get ahold of all your friends and family for sales you can't participate on without the 66....but you have no time to study that bc you are too busy selling for the products that don't require it to make quota, as your clock starts when you pass the 7, so pretty much they just want your people. It's very eat what you kill, and then only after it's been picked over.... which is fine if you're young with no obligations, but not great if you have a family. If you were an existing advisor and had your own book/contacts it could work. Otherwise get your licenses, learn a little, but don't be afraid to move on to other opportunities.
