Pros

Independence, make your own schedule, but remember you can only make as much money as the work you put into it.

Cons

Fees for everything, laptop usage, software usage, rent, monthly expenses can come to about $800 to $1000. You get paid better for insurance and annuities, not for mutual fund, or rollovers. If clients wants advisory account, not only you pay fee but also they pay fee. Advisors dont have control of anything, you need to consistently call home office for trades, or questions, pretty much everything.. If you'd like help from a veteran they want 50% of commissions, which they call joint work. Very little training and very little support from others unless you want to split your earnings.

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.
