Vantaggi
Building own book of business from scratch was a humbling sales experience. Facing rejection only made you stronger for future sales role. Great foundation to building myself as a sales professional. Challenging industry for young college grads, but exciting for the optimistic individual. Work hard, play hard.
Svantaggi
High turnover, lacking strong leadership, good luck finding a mentor to help with development, training was minimal and redundant, was sold on exciting expectations about the job opportunity and under delivered on the actual experience. Make sure you know what you're getting into if you peruse after reading this. Your just a number on your managers hiring quota for the year, they have their own personal production they're focused on. They will literally hire anyone who can pass licensing and examination. Top quality talent goes elsewhere, AXA is just a glorified insurance company that pushes their high premium, propitiatory products. Lots of unethical business practices conducted just to make a quick commission. Phenomenal example of what to avoid steer away from in future sales opportunities. "Financial Consultant"- more like insurance agent. Pressure from management to tap into natural market for easy business upon hire, not a comfortable transaction for any part involved.
