Pros

Autonomy and training. Unlimited income.

Cons

Very labor intensive client acquisition process. The door knocking process can lead to you doing marketing for existing branches in the area you prospect. Commission based sales are a very heavy part of your sales targets which can lead to making sales to hit a commission target not because it was the right investment. Suitable yes, right for person, no.

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
