Pros

Excellent training in sales practices, product knowledge, and the regulations of the financial services industry. Consistent and regular feedback of performance. Excellent benefits if you can make enough to pay for them.

Cons

100% commissions with no minimum salary. Income is reduced by weekly and monthly overhead related expenses. One never knows how much one will make in a given week or month which makes managing your personal budget extremely difficult. The FSA is expected to spend most of their time prospecting for clients via cold calling. The FSA expected to exploit existing personal and professional relationships which can impact those relationships very negatively. 3 year retention is less than 15%.

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.
