Svantaggi
If you work for a Financial Advisor you don't like, you are screwed. I worked for one I couldn't stand and it's just you and the FA in the office; no one else. And you can't transfer to another office for a year. There is a lot of down time, depending on how successful your FA is. Mine was a level 3 of 10, so I took like 6 phone calls a day and we maybe had one appointment. All of the training is online so if you have a question, you are again screwed. If a client calls in and you don't know how to help them, you basically have to call them back and then call your mentor or the home office to get your answer. The process is a bit messed up. It can get lonely if you are a people person.
