Pros
You learn quickly some vital communication skills The interviews were very easy and straightforward No Finacial knowledge needed to get your foot in the door Sponsorship for series 7
Cons
-You'll be making less than 300 a week -You will spend over 10 hours a day cold-calling -They will not teach you anything about the Finacial industry -They will constantly sell you the dream that you can easily make 100k a month if you put in 12 hour days, 6 days a week This job this like the twilight zone, you'll notice that upper management has everyone convinced that by cold calling 12 hours a day and sometimes 7 days a week that they should be making 6 figures per month. The reality is only the gentleman that have been in this game for 10+ years are making money, everyone else is skimming the bottom trying to generate an account a month. Your co-workers do not think for themselves, these people have nowhere to go and are so convinced they can make it here that even after 2 even 3 years of not making any money, they will keep saying "3 years is really when we peak". Being a stock broker is nothing like the Wolf on Wall Street, don't believe that for a second. Brilliant people, people that don't buy into dreams, see things for what they really are, people who are truly going places, should not go here for money. You will not get it. If you do get into this position, get your series 7 and take off.
