Pros

- Don't have to bother friends and family - Hire college grads so at least you can have other guys in the trenches

Cons

- Over promise on "RBG Opportunity" - Despite what they say, they don't have a high success rate or retention rate - Worked well for those starting out in the 2000s, but not practical today - Some school districts are very restrictive, but your manager won't care and still assign you to that district because the last advisor left - Imagine signing up for your employer retirement plan and not knowing it's an expensive annuity

Pros

Complete freedom to build your book of business anmd schedule.

Cons

Horrendous place to start. Managers run their own practice and have little to no time to actually help you outside of your joint meetings so you're on your own. They only give you 2 options to get clients, cold calling or their retirement benefits group through schools. Basically the whole advising piece is to just to sell life insurance and annuities. The support staff is thin so you're kind of on your own with paperwork and compliance docs. They just genuinely offer you nothing. No help with covering costs (you pay for all your licensing and marketing materials), they even charge you for using the company laptop and fees for programs you will never use. They will mislead you about the commission payouts and you only really get something if you get them to buy an annuity or life insurance. If you also have a remaining balance of any fees when you leave, they will literally sending you threatening letters demanding the money and threaten you with claims court if you don't pay it back.
