McAdam Reviews

You will literally pay for everything, office fees/technology fees, and E&O insurance. They say the company pays for the first year but that is a lie. Management needs you to stay in order for them to get paid via the "fees" that you incur every month. Advise for college graduates-work for a well known financial firm that pays you salary and doesn't take money from you. This company is going to leave you in the red, a lot of the advisors that I worked with came from families that were not well off and literally had zero dollars in their bank account from having to pay fees and the little bit of money you make from selling plans just gets taken back. Also, just as a side note, most of the positive reviews are made by management to lure you into working here.

TL;DR - Do not work here, I am telling you this for your own good. If you are a recent graduate, find a job with reliable income and once you develop a business acumen you can try to support yourself on 100% commission. Despite all of the planted rhetoric in the positive reviews on here, McAdam is a horrible choice for a first job if you have literally, and I mean that in the true sense of the word, any other alternative. Even if for some reason you think you don't have alternatives, I strongly caution against accepting. Find something else, whatever that may be. You have to pay to get licensed, pay for monthly office and 'technology' fees, receive no benefits whatsoever, and will struggle to make enough money to break even (if you are lucky enough to be one of the few making money at all). I can say that from experience because after my time working there, I was almost broke after leaning on my savings to support myself while 'getting off the ground'. And I was one of the higher producing people in my hiring class. Learn from my negative experience, and the others you see on here, and avoid this as best you can. It's easy to be convinced that this is a viable opportunity as an uninformed interviewee, so do yourself a favor and bail before you waste valuable time and money here.
