Pros

Commission based so aren't capped. Pretty good payout for the industry. A few really great people around but they are few and far between.

Cons

Not a lot of support. The "management" of "former successful advisors" are just yes men who are trying to climb to the top. They do not actually care about you or your success unless it directly helps them. When put with a current advisor they were awful at mentoring and did not help growth at all unless it was a client where they would get a split of the business. Cold calling leads with the classic insurance vibe. You are pushed to give products to people rather than manage their money and really get down to full financial planning. Would recommend elsewhere if you want to ACTUALLY work with folks and help them with their finances in depth rather than give them a product.

Pros

They take you to lunch on your first day. Hybrid 2 days in the office, but I'm sure that will increase. The benefits & pay.

Cons

No training at all. You learn by failed case work and what other coworkers tell you. They expect you to do case work you have never processed before. If you fail too many cases, they put it against you and say your quality is bad. Train normally and the quality wouldn't be bad. If you continue to do "bad", they will just put you on phone calls every day to help rude and mean old people. Upwards of 40+ calls daily. They also don't put everyone on phones even though they say being on phones is an essential part of the job. They pick and choose their favorites to do casework and put everyone else on phones daily. Managers are useless and just sit in meetings all day and don't offer help, training, or guidance. Managers also provide snobby remarks when asking for clarification or help and answer back as if you are the dumbest person in the room and act as if you should already know the answer.
