Pros

Great Training, Good solid Company , Profit sharing, 401k . The information on line is good and easy to work with. Head office support is very good.

Cons

Good training and support up to going out to sell. Then the ball is dropped. I don't think the trainers in the Head Office are aware of the lack of support new Financial advisors have. Door knocking is ok but for people to take you seriously I think you need to be based in an office not your home . Absolutley no product training! I can't believe the amount of money that is wasted on training the new advisors then to let them fail. Far more support is need in the field to help retain the advisors

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
