Vantaggi

Ability to get your licenses. Young work environment, fun, relaxed. You might meet cool people.

Svantaggi

Not what is advertised. They say you will be a "financial advisor" when in reality you are just a salesperson trying to sell anyone anything. My whole time there I felt like I was just another phone dialer from which the managers and everyone above me could potentially profit off of. They only want you to succeed and help you develop your phone skills because they can make money off of you. Even if you sell a plan you only get a small % of the commission, upper management keeps most of it. GET READY TO COLD CALL ALL DAY. Not only that , the leads they give you are garbage. People that have already been called multiple times. They also exploit your natural market, literally PRESSURE YOU ENDLESSLY to call all your family and friends and sell them something. THEY ARE MOSTLY STANDING FROM PROFITING OFF OF PEOPLE'S FAMILY/FRIENDS. Most people quit within months if they are smart enough. It was miserable, I absolutely hated it. All I did was cold call and DIDN'T MAKE A SINGLE PENNY. I was lucky enough to be "working" from home because of covid otherwise you actually HAVE TO PAY TO WORK THERE (tech fees, and other stuff). The only job where you PAY TO WORK THERE.... LIKE WHAT. It is a trap for recent graduates. DON'T FALL FOR IT. They say u can make 6 figures your first year..... yeah maybe if you are the wolf of wall street. WHAT A JOKE! The culture is horrible. Very inappropriate. I am very relaxed chill person but this definitely didn't feel right. something was off. A big lack of professionalism. The comments they make, etc...One of the managers made an EXTREMELY INAPPROPRIATE comment to me. I WAS ACTUALLY SHOCKED. I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EARS.

Vantaggi

- Opportunities to meet with families and clients and deliver life-altering financial help and advice and build career-long bonds with new people - Collaborative culture - Company growth has been consistent with new opportunities for advancement as we help more families - If you are looking for an environment that is growth oriented & opportunity to build a business for yourself with significant internal support (leads, marketing help, leadership, etc.), this is a great place to look

Svantaggi

- As an advisor, starting off can be difficult since it is a very entrepreneurial career. It requires a lot of mental fortitude and an acknowledgement that failure will happen more times than success - No base salary to start (at least if you are a new advisor starting their practice) but there are other bonuses that are utilized to help income at the start of the career - Emotional competence is a must. Being able to handle highs and lows is very important - If working a normal 9 to 5 is your desire, it may not be a good fit (if you are looking to be an advisor)

Vantaggi

Honestly, the only decent part was the people you work with. A lot of other new hires are in the same boat, so there’s a bit of shared struggle and support just from going through it together. The energy at the start can also feel exciting before you realize what the job actually is.

Svantaggi

The job gets sold as a big opportunity but it really isn’t what they make it out to be. It’s basically constant cold calling and trying to push sales with bad leads, plus being encouraged to hit up your own friends and family. There’s no real stability, no proper training, and not much guidance once you’re in it. You’re kind of just thrown in and expected to figure it out while still meeting high pressure targets every day. Management is very focused on tracking numbers but not very helpful when you actually need support. The expectations don’t really match the reality of the job, which makes it stressful and frustrating pretty quickly. Most people don’t stick around long.
