      I have been working at World Financial Group part-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Taking control of your life, time, money.
      Teaching you everything to be successful through hands on training.
      Motivating, encouring, praising you always for every bit of effort.
      Getting paid what your worth.. Not what someone thinks you're worth.

      Cons

      Yourself... get out of your head.. stop thinking it's hard... making a call to save a family financially isn't hard... watching someone you love die and then not having money for a funeral is hard... going to work every day busting your was for a company who doesn't appreciate you, under pays you, and tells you when you can take time off and if you can is hard!

      Advice to Management

      If you quit because you were 'unsuccessful then you didn't see the value... it's not the company... it's you.

      Self development

      Cons

      It will take time
      Not for everyone
      Patience

      Advice to Management

      I am working as a part timer, so far I’ve learned a lot . There are lots of things to say , and I agree they hire everyone one, but the good thing about it that it gives opportunity for everyone who have business mindset not an employee mindset. Everyone can be hired but as they go forward they understand that it is not for them ,because they don’t see them self as a business owner, because they’ve been relied on someone else to tell them what to do , so they quit.
      The common excuse is it is an scam . Well I think every company who hires people to work for them is an scam , not owning you own business.
      I am really proud of being part of world financial group because I am helping families to protect their income ,to retire safe , to be financially independent.
      Yes it is not for everyone, it is for those who really work hard and have patience.

      I worked at World Financial Group full-time

      Pros

      Building a Network within the firm and with product providers
      Free Food from Product Provider Representatives
      Work towards getting licensed; costs not covered

      Cons

      Limited knowledge and experience from individuals training
      Multi Level Marketing mixed with a top down pyramid structure
      Fully Commission Based; Family and Friends are exploited first
      You must pay fees to join the firm; huge red flag in the financial industry
      The Executives give themselves big titles that have changed throughout the years and often portray themselves as living exuberant lives on social media and to sell the dream to others
      Turnover Rate is so high, that they rely on newcomers, immigrants, and uneducated, unemployed individuals to exploit

      Pros

      You don’t need experience or knowledge to work with WORLD FINANCIAL GROUP, they just see whether you have the desire to do something different in life.
      You make your own schedule
      You control you pay cheque
      No pressure of hitting quota
      Helping families with money and finance
      Before I started I told my trainer I want to be in this business if it’s ethical and clean. Been in the business full time for 2 years now.

      Cons

      Investing time in people, not money
      New business partners get demotivated when family member does there own research online but doesn’t know anything about business yet stops the new business partner who has so much potential from doing business

      Pros

      The income potential is unlimited, we have the choice to grow our businesses as big or small as we want. Personal development is a true focus - the trainers and leaders are so supportive and always recognizing efforts and growth. We work for ourselves so we have flexibility of time and schedule. We help families, we educate, we provide service to segments of the population that aren't receiving access or education.

      Cons

      It's hard work...I can't lie about this one. But the upside is we get out of it exactly what we put in to it - I have never had that in a "normal" job before.

      Also, every different office is run mostly independently - this means that the training, mentorship and leadership you experience will be different. It's something to look at when considering different offices and mentors.

      atmosphere is surreal, everybody wants you to win and the amount of help from all areas of the office is outstanding.

      Pros

      No pros at all, have been kept in the dark right from the start with WFG Canada and now its time to break my silence.

      Cons

      WFG CANADA will ruin your relation with family and friends forever by selling them unwanted policies , dont make the mistake of giving your contacts to WFG CANADA. They will ask you to give them the phone numbers of the people you know and then they will scam them by making you the scapegoat first. No transparency in this business at all.They will also ask you to give your credit card details as well which is very risky as they record the credit card info on paper and store it in a file. The chances of your credit being ruined for life by a bunch of incompetent people is pretty high here.

      HUNTING STRATEGY OF WFG CANADA - They will try to befriend you first by joining social networking groups and attending social events and also eye on students and immigrants who are looking for better opportunities. They usually flaunt their FAKE lifestyle and tell a bunch of lies to hook you in.

      Advice to Management

      Take control of the things going on in WFG CANADA (195 Walker Dr, Brampton, ON L6T 3Z9) before its too late.
