Pros

Freedom of schedule and ability to grow your business and prospect any way you choose.

Cons

You are told you'll be joining a team with great coaching, but their advisor model for trainees is to churn and burn. They have associates call terrible leads and the managers are not supportive enough to truly coach and develop an advisor who wants to be a serious professional.

Pros

Solid place to start. Learn a ton about wealth management industry, sandbox for development. In Pittsburgh in particular EVP is excellent.

Cons

Managers are not created equal. This has a big impact on your development. Sometimes feel like prospecting tactics are from the 80s.
