      Pros

      If you want to be called a Financial Advisor but focus on selling life insurance and annuities, this is the place for you. They do offer leads but they are not what they are cracked up to be, and some of them you have to pay for. They do offer high commissions, but you have to earn a certain amount before they pay you at all. Probably the biggest pro is their reputation.

      Cons

      You will definitely be paying them before they pay you. They do not cover E&O insurance, you have to pay rent for desk space, you have to pay for certain leads, and they require you to be in the office for several of their pointless meetings. These expenses are not disclosed until the last minute (or sometimes not until after you have been hired on). They do not seem to have any strategy and their training is highly lacking. Outside of insurance products, the firms knowledge of investment products is highly lacking. My advise to the potential employee is look for a firm that is actually known as a financial advising firm and not an insurance company.

      Pros

      They take you to lunch on your first day. Hybrid 2 days in the office, but I'm sure that will increase. The benefits & pay.

      Cons

      No training at all. You learn by failed case work and what other coworkers tell you. They expect you to do case work you have never processed before. If you fail too many cases, they put it against you and say your quality is bad. Train normally and the quality wouldn't be bad. If you continue to do "bad", they will just put you on phone calls every day to help rude and mean old people. Upwards of 40+ calls daily. They also don't put everyone on phones even though they say being on phones is an essential part of the job. They pick and choose their favorites to do casework and put everyone else on phones daily. Managers are useless and just sit in meetings all day and don't offer help, training, or guidance. Managers also provide snobby remarks when asking for clarification or help and answer back as if you are the dumbest person in the room and act as if you should already know the answer.
