Vantaggi
Good place if you are an experience advisor and willing to produce at a level you were currently producing, but thats about it. AXA has good products with access to insurance, planning and wealth managment but if you do not sell enough "AXA" products you do not get benefits. It is a good place to build wealth with a hell of a stock purchase plan, 401(k), and defined benefit plan. AXA is also a very large, strong company and you do not have to worry about being bought by another company.
Svantaggi
Way behind in technology, it takes waaaaay to much time to fill out paper apps. Compliance is very very strict and AXA is a very conservative company, which could also be viewed as good. If you are new to the industry, look elsewhere! There is no training at all and you are basically thrown in to sink or swim. Most of the management is sub-par and are clueless when it comes to growing new advisors.
