Pros

FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE GOOD PLACE TO GET AN EDUCATION ON LIFE INSURANCE AND OTHER INSURANCE PRODUCTS.

Cons

POOR TRAINING POOR CAREER DEVELOPMENT POOR LEADERSHIP They talk a good game about great culture and flexibility but do very little in actually helping new prospective advisors succeed. All you need here is a Life Insurance license and every problem your family, friends, prospective clients face suddenly becomes a nail and the answer is Whole Life Insurance. Best Interest of the client? Hardly. Interested in being a real financial planner? don't stick around here too long. Learn what you can (6 months), then move on.

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
