Pros

In theory you control your own schedule and have the freedom to build your own business. Partners in theory have a fair amount of autonomy to grow their region and help to support advisors. They do support a number of charities but they reworked the system so HQ has even more power over where those dollars go than they did before.

Cons

The stated theory above does not actually happen the further you get from Minnesota and Wisconsin. Basically this is just a bunch of old school sales folks forcing product on people using Christ as their way of getting people to trust them. Had a manager tell me I wasn't even allowed to have an opinion until after 6 years. Got railroaded by the regional manager and driven out less than a week after a review where I was told I was doing well.

Pros

Would have been a good opportunity IF it went through.

Cons

BEWARE! They do not disclose a very long and tedious interview process. 3 interviews with a post interview call. Background check, credit check, amongst multiple items to complete in portal. Many emails to respond to. Speaking with 4+employees throughout the process. Did NOT disclose that start date was 3 months post job posting.
