Vantaggi
Decent to good products, if you know people can be successful, good commissions. Okay marketing strategy and nice office.
Svantaggi
Management is over promising and sells the career. They think the training and mentor ship they provide works, but it’s not enough and it doesn’t. They will probably tell you that the people that don’t make it is their own fault, but in reality it’s both management and the persons fault. Sometimes the firm can be very arrogant and I questioned whose interest they really had in mind at times. They tout the products, but it is so much more than that. Always promoting mass mutual, and they put the Advisor in a bad position versus independent advisors. I did not tend to see many high net worth clients at Mass.
