Pros
Paid training, free licensing and CFP, environment that fosters growth, great corporate culture, incentive to meet targets, and overall the best place to build a career in this business. I came into the business after researching various financial planning firms and how they nurture new advisors. Freedom 55, in my eyes, had the best program. Knowing that it was going to take a few years until I started making a decent income, the income potential at Freedom 55 is hands down unparalleled and 100% a long term move.
Cons
If you are looking to make a good income out of the gate, maybe you should work in the government. Let's get real here, as one builds their own practice in whatever their profession, it takes time. In order to really make a name in this industry, you have to work hard, be willing to continuously learn and study, and you really don't start seeing rewards until you have been at it for a few years. After that, the sky is the limit on income potential. It's common to see advisors at our office who have been here for over 10 years that are making more than a lot of doctors or lawyers.
