      Started out great - but once you are behind the current you see the truth.

      Pros

      Great Bonuses - Benefits - PTO - Most people want to be helpful but their hands are tied.

      Cons

      If you don't kiss VP's butt or blindly follow and do what ever they say, you will be black balled. The same people have been there to long in the remote locations and rule their kingdoms. People operate out of fear. Remote workers are treated horribly! If someone mentioned they are interested in management, they are promoted to a manager, regardless if they are qualified or not. No new idea's. Just repeat the failures of the past.

      Excellent career potential

      Pros

      The large corporate environment has a great deal of potententional. Managers are available to assist and maintain development. Flexible work arrangements and a commitment to improved quality of life generate a more devoted and happy workplace. Compensation is very comparable to the market.

      Cons

      Movement can be slow at the corporate level, due to the large organizational structure. Because of the PTO policy, most staff come to work when sick rather than forfeiting a PTO day which combines sick & vacation days. Annual reviews are looked at as a task rather than as a process to improve the employee, or recognize a job well done.

      Best Place To Start A Career

      Pros

      As a Financial Professional, you have a ton of freedom, both with your time as well as the type of practice you wish to build. You are primarily paid via commission, so the sky is the limit. Training is considered to be some of the best in the industry. Benefits are amazing - 401(k) match, stock purchase plans, life, health, disability insurance, etc.

      Cons

      Sometimes having a ton of freedom can feel like no one cares until you have closed a big deal. This also harbors feelings that no one is guiding you down the right path to success. Rather they are just patting you on the back when you do something good, because they are earning a commission when you sell. When you look at the commission structure versus an independent broker, you really should be getting more guidance. The fact that you are paid via commission also has it's pitfalls when you don't get paid. Costs up-front to become an advisor can be a challenge for some when you factor in the life and health insurance exam, series 6 & 63 study material and exams, fingerprints, etc.
