Pros

There are several strong senior advisors who are genuinely supportive and willing to help you succeed. They’re open to sharing ideas, offering mentorship, and collaborating, which makes a big difference in your day-to-day experience and professional development.

Cons

The compensation structure and base pay aren't clearly communicated upfront, which can feel misleading. Transparency from management is lacking, and there are times when communication feels inconsistent or not fully honest, making it difficult to trust leadership.

Pros

Good place for career changers to get financial licenses (they will license anybody)

Cons

Very bad pay model for new hires- will tell you 6% commissions on certain products but then you have to kick up 10% to your manager and the other half of what's left to whoever is working w you because they make you go out in pairs...and mostly seem want to get ahold of all your friends and family for sales you can't participate on without the 66....but you have no time to study that bc you are too busy selling for the products that don't require it to make quota, as your clock starts when you pass the 7, so pretty much they just want your people. It's very eat what you kill, and then only after it's been picked over.... which is fine if you're young with no obligations, but not great if you have a family. If you were an existing advisor and had your own book/contacts it could work. Otherwise get your licenses, learn a little, but don't be afraid to move on to other opportunities.
