Vantaggi

Seriously not one good thing.

Svantaggi

I went into this job ready to work hard and make my way in the business. I was told if you put in the time and effort you will succeed here. This could not be farther from the truth. Working 50-60 hours a week with absolutely NO compensation led me into just about the worst 4 months of my career. I spent thousands of dollars on my licenses, commute and expenses with NOTHING in return from AXA which is funny considering they love to tell everyone you will make 80k-100k in your first year. LIES. While I was there the "management" and "training" I thought I would get were all just broken promises. You are taught nothing and you are basically given a phone and told to build a book of business. Might I add it such a revolving door of recent graduates that on my first 2 days they didn't even have a desk for me to sit at basically waiting for someone to leave so I could sit. The managers who tell you they believe in you and are investing time in you only want to spend time helping you if there is opportunity for them to make money off of you. I was told time and time again that they don't push people to reach out to family right away but yet they like to insert as many times as possible to tell your family what you are doing aka the only way you will make money here in the beginning is if you harass your family into buying something. Overall, I consider myself an intelligent person but wasting my time at AXA was one of my worst decisions thus far and I would advise/ beg anyone to not let the same tricks that convinced me to accept this job let them. Stay as far away.

Vantaggi

Complete freedom to build your book of business anmd schedule.

Svantaggi

Horrendous place to start. Managers run their own practice and have little to no time to actually help you outside of your joint meetings so you're on your own. They only give you 2 options to get clients, cold calling or their retirement benefits group through schools. Basically the whole advising piece is to just to sell life insurance and annuities. The support staff is thin so you're kind of on your own with paperwork and compliance docs. They just genuinely offer you nothing. No help with covering costs (you pay for all your licensing and marketing materials), they even charge you for using the company laptop and fees for programs you will never use. They will mislead you about the commission payouts and you only really get something if you get them to buy an annuity or life insurance. If you also have a remaining balance of any fees when you leave, they will literally sending you threatening letters demanding the money and threaten you with claims court if you don't pay it back.
