Pros

As an experienced advisor, joining Pacific Advisors has been a strong move for my continued growth. I was intentional about making a transition where I could learn, evolve, and build something meaningful—and Pacific Advisors has delivered on everything communicated during the interview process. The onboarding experience has been supportive and resource-rich, with access to experienced professionals and leadership who are genuinely invested in your development. There is a clear emphasis on mentorship, collaboration, and continuous learning. What stands out most is the entrepreneurial environment. You are encouraged to build a business aligned with your own vision, with guidance tailored to how you want to grow your practice. This career is not easy early on, but with the right support system and persistence, it can be incredibly rewarding—and the firm is transparent about that. Overall, if you’re looking for an environment where you can grow, take ownership of your career, and be supported by knowledgeable leaders, Pacific Advisors is a great place to build a long-term, meaningful practice.

Cons

I cannot possibly think of any.

Pros

I transitioned from being a business owner to entering the financial and life insurance industry as a full-time agent a few years ago. To be honest, my first two years were not easy at all. However, I never even considered giving up. Instead, I continued to learn from the top producers at my agency, as well as from others within the Guardian Life network. I attended in-person training sessions provided by Guardian Life once or twice each year, where I was taught how to approach entrepreneurs, given the significant business opportunities they present. Consequently, I gradually transitioned from helping individuals to serving entrepreneurs and their employees. I am proud to have qualified as a Leaders Club council member (The top 100 financial professionals) for three years in a row. I also became registered a while ago, allowing me to sell a variety of variable products, such as registered index-linked annuity, mutual funds and 529 education plans and even handle 401(k) rollovers for small businesses. I will soon begin studying for my Series 65 to become a financial advisor! What I love about this profession is the flexibility; the work-life balance is truly the best part. When I first started this career, I used to work more than 50 hours a week, but I am now fortunate enough to work no more than 40 hours per week. Since I persist and focus on what I do, I've been incredibly rewarding for a minimum of 10-15% increase for my annual income. Most importantly, as a career changer, I chose to join a team as a full-time financial professional rather than becoming an independent broker. This decision has allowed me to receive invaluable support from my team members.

Cons

This job is “Eat What You Kill”

Thank you for sharing such an honest and inspiring reflection on your journey into this profession - and by setting the example of what excellence looks like! We’re especially grateful you shared why choosing to join a team made such a difference. The support, collaboration, and shared knowledge within a team environment are powerful advantages, particularly for career changers entering the industry. You also said something beautifully honest: this is an “eat what you kill” profession. That’s true. And as you’ve demonstrated, for those who stay focused, put in the work, and continue learning, the flexibility, work-life balance, and financial rewards can be incredibly fulfilling. Thank you for being such a thoughtful example of what’s possible in this career.
