Pros

The benefits were great. We had a pension, there was profit sharing, the pay wasn't bad, and we had the opportunity to earn FINRA licenses.

Cons

Nepotism was huge. Management preferred to hire people from their previous company and provide them with multiple opportunities.

Pros

Strong comp plan and benefits

Cons

The compensation plan is built in a way to never let you off of the hamster wheel. You are basically forced to peddle life insurance and annuities to survive while trying to build your managed money book large enough to escape the racket but they constantly revamp the comp plan (every other year) to make sure it is almost never attainable.. Systems and policies are draconian and make doing good business nearly impossible... Also, there is no salary. It is 100% commission based and though you may gross a good commission you are responsible for all of your own expenses. They even charge you a "technology fee" every 2 weeks just to work there. You are basically a 1099 with benefits.
