Pros
Start with a big name and come with good benefit, office our is flexible
Cons
the most ridiculous compensation structure that I have seen in my life. the compensation is not designed to help you make money but to stop you from many money. A so-called 3-month rolling period which calculated your total sales in 3 months so that determine your payout ratio the 4th month. It looks not that bad, but when you realize that there are so many things such as slow underwriting, weird settlement date, you could work really hard and make nothing there. 2 weeks not so good performance could possibly ruin everything. it is unarguable that only 5% of advisor could make decent commission and the rest are 45k-55k averagely. Plus the lack of knowledge manager who offers no help and the people titled "specialist" will return your call after two weeks when you need help, you are pretty much work on you own there. Dunt be suprised that when business getting slow down, they will kick you out of the bus immediately, they will not fire you but they will make you quit.
