MFA Group Reviews

Management can sometimes be defensive and not always receptive to feedback, with communication occasionally lacking empathy. Effectiveness in mentorship pairings may be inconsistent, though helpful mentors and optional group programmes are available. Prospecting methods can feel dated, with no agency-provided leads and limited onboarding support, requiring advisers to be highly self-driven. The culture places strong emphasis on group activities, conventions, and in-office calling, which may not appeal to everyone. While the environment is not toxic and compensation is largely supported by AIA, the structure may feel less entrepreneurial than expected. Success ultimately favours those who are independent, resilient, and willing to build their business with a long-term mindset.

Lack of support from the agency itself. Its possible to do well, but mostly effort is done by the advisors. If you are expecting growth and support, look elsewhere. If you are not entirely independent, this will not be the place for you. Lack of open discussions and feedbacks as well. As consultants feedback, usually it will get shut down. Be prepared to burn some money for non-revenue generating "business costs" as well such as an app that is severely underutilised and "AGM" trips. The director is good at "sweet talking" you into the business but the true colours will soon be exposed as you stay longer in the business.
