Pros

Great name in the marketplace Competitive products Flexibility in schedule You decide who your customers are Compensation in line with market

Cons

Just some downsides in general as a financial advisor: commission based late nights depending on clients management makes the job seem easier than it actually is and does not accurately describe the pay structure

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
