      Pros

      This job is great if you are a good producer. If you bring in accounts this is the best job in the world. All the freedom you could ever want IF you are doing well.

      Cons

      If you don't do well they don't hesitate to let people go. Try to get on a good team with a proven process if you want to be a successful FAA.

      Pros

      -Free do build a biz however you wish. -Access to a plethora of investments and platform, even very early on. -Very generous training schedule. -Can be a very lucrative career.

      Cons

      -Prospecting your way to success is a thing of the past. Literally, no one in a position of leadership within the company can offer any advice beyond cold calling (which no longer works). -Only interested in million dollar clients. Anyone else will get feed to death. -Merger has been ugly -Absolutely no quality control. Every advisor gives a different level of service and advice. -Want free checking? Online trading platform? God forbid... an app? Forget it. -Can't survive on your own. Payouts for new guys are small, and decreasing each year. Don't accept a job unless you're put on a team. -Half the admin staff in my office was laid off while I was there, the manager had to start a book from scratch and thus disappeared, and no one left had a clue how to do anything in the OLD system. They're really going to be screwed when the new one comes out. -Enjoy seeing your company vilified in the news at least once a month.

      Pros

      Good benefits, good beginning salary

      Cons

      No help in building a book of business, told to spend the day cold calling, no product training, it seems that the management is more interested in you leaving the company than staying.
