Pros
Good benefits. Very highly rated and stable. Great award conferences. Good whole life product.
Cons
Severe lack of commitment to client facing and advisor facing technology. The broker dealer is terrible. They have one really good insurance product (whole life). All other products are way too expensive to consider selling to a client. They give too much power to the local general agents and do a terrible job of hiring local general agents. Customer service reps would constantly unknowingly give wrong information about basic procedures and form requirements. WAY to conservative with decisions. Broker dealer would constantly blame FINRA for reasons why certain decisions were made when very few other broker dealers would make the same decision.
