Pros

Christian based company, Bible study every Tuesday is paid, and virtual

Cons

New to advisor roles, have someone watching you every punch, but says your building your own business even though there is no way to take your book of business, the base will be year 1 income, management is new on most teams, like a service role or account manager, you sell protection products. If you do well there then you can request to work with investments. Full service brokerage costs (high comparatively), mixed messages on expectations (basics: 40 OB calls each day, 16 client apt's a week, with 2-3 company/team meeting everyday that are manditory) because they're deciding as they go. My direct manager Shannon G, lied, targeted all the women on my team and was predatory, nothing can be done, everything has to be resolved by your direct manager. Nothing is automated is systems, you have to take some sort of action for every single thing. You end up working off the clock for case work and the extras they ask of you.

Pros

The environment ranges from onsite, hybrid, to remote. The staff you work with can be from anywhere in the U.S. ranging in different experiences. Depending on your position there is opening to move around or up. Benefits are good and the facilities are very nice. The Corporate building in Minneapolis, MN has an lots of art and a workout room in the building.

Cons

As with any company personalities can clash and differences happen. When they decide your position is no longer needed there is no warning, they just pull you into a meeting and tell you you're done.

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.
