Pros

Got to meet lots of people and talk about their goals and educate folks on how investing works, buying stocks and bonds, retirement, financing items, credit, and mutual funds. Loved that part, hated the hustle and pushing part of making the numbers and accounts.

Cons

Guaranteed 3 year salary (with step downs) goes away in only a few months if you do not meet the really high sales goals. Dropped so low I was making $1,100.00 per month. And once you are behind it is nearly impossible to catch up. You need to work 6 days a week to make the numbers. You will be walking door to door in a full suit and tie in the summer and winters to get leads.

Pros

- Decent benefits programs. - Teammates who cared about the quality of work they provided and the people they worked with. - Direct superiors who were people of integrity that I respect immensely and wish nothing but the best for.

Cons

- Recent removal of remote work for all associates regardless of how long they had worked remotely previously (13 years in my case). This push to onsite work will damage long term profitability and likely cause a mass exodus of talented associates (if it has not already). - Massive amount of offshore outsourcing that has greatly reduced the quality of work at the home office. - Lack of flexibility regarding work schedules that has severely damaged work-life balance.
