I worked at World Financial Group part-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Good people , friendly environment , ability to work pt to grow your business.
Cons
No leads given, low commission at first until you get promoted, hated trying to recruit my friends and strangers.
I got my license but trainer was not the right fit for for me. I worked 6 months and glad I left to work for another company.
Advice to Management
Need to provide more support for new associates but it really depends who you select as your trainer.

I have been working at World Financial Group part-time (More than a year)
Pros
As a client I saw first hand the amazing things WFG did for me and my family. On countless occasions I would speak with friends and family and compare their services to that of what I was doing and they would ALL be amazed at the low cost of my insurance and high returns I was getting for my investments. I had a personal relationship with my Advisor and it felt amazing to actually be involved with my financial plan rather than just a number. Fast forward almost 14 years and I made the transition to agent in preparation for retirement from Law Enforcement. As a police officer, we are very skeptical people, so I did a ton of homework...and NO, not just googling WFG and listening to the "victims" who blame everyone and everything else for their failures. I instead went inside and tried it for myself to see if it was really as good as they said it was.Where else can you start your own company for only $125? Well it wasn't that good...IT WAS AMAZING!!! And still is!! I get to change people's lives in a positive way while still looking after my family financially! For only a few hours a week I have almost replaced my income (and contrary to popular belief, police get paid very well) and have built an amazing team that goes out with me every day and helps people!! I have created an army of financial warriors who love to help people and we enjoy every moment learning from some of the best and brightest in the industry!! This place is an amazing self improvement company with an amazing compensation package....the best in the industry if you want to build a business that pays you passive income for life!!! I could write a book on this but Steve Seibold already did...READ IT!
Cons
SEE ABOVE and you haters quit calling WFG a pyramid scheme just because you did not want to put in the time and success tax!. PYRAMID SCHEMES ARE ILLEGAL and we would not be a licensed company if we did illegal things!! ALSO the major multi BILLION dollar banks, investment and insurance companies would not have teams dedicated to our agents if we were a "SCHEME". If you want to throw shade at us, try coming out and making an honest effort into building a business and FOLLOWING the system that has been shown to work.
There are different personalities in every line of work and sometimes people do not get the mentorship they feel in compatible with them...that does not mean the company is bad!
Advice to Management
Keep it up, great leadership, great partnerships and amazing mission!!

I worked at World Financial Group part-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Made about $10,000/yr part-time
Business tax deductions
Cons
Poor mentoring
Overpriced fees: Winfund, email, E/o Insurance (almost half the cost when independent), office dues
There are fees and cost of all the events which can net $0 at the end of the year
Recruiting prioritized over financial knowledge
Sexual harassment - denied the option to transfer offices
Disability discrimination - denied being able to step down a contract to keep clients
To many "Events" that never discuss the market and financial education
Main focus is recruiting strategies around the industry
Advice to Management
Get an HR department.
Actually teach the associates about money and investments (not just insurance need), instead of encouraging them to own the products, recruit all their family and friends, then wait for the clients to roll up after the associate leaves.

You get paid what you're worth, if you work hard you will make money with this company. It's that simple. I'm in control of my own time meaning that no one else sets my schedule. They also a lot of personal development, which I think is great!
Cons
If you want to make money, you have to work for it. You won't get paid for doing nothing which may be a con for some people
