Having your own office,determining your own hours,having an assistant once you are profitable enogh,the training is probley the best thing -sell,sell,sell!

Cons

Low pay , benefits are terrible,to many offices , the turnover is tremendous!They tell financial advisor they are the "boss" to their assistance , but this is far from the truth!!!They don't teach you the fundementals of being a financial advisors , they only teach you to peddle high commision "up-front products.

Pros

They have allowed the HBA’s (home based associates) to remain remote

Cons

Micromanagers, they say they are okay if you want to apply to another department within the firm but the minute you do it’s like you get a target on your back. The pay doesn’t match the workload and the word is that you have to quit and then come back to make what you should already be getting paid. Benefits are terrible but 401k is pretty good
