      Financial advisor
      Current employee

      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great team, ability to grow exponentially, ideal location, strong support from management, comprehensive training and coaching.

      Cons

      Work life balance as a commission based role is certainly tough when getting started but there is tremendous support with stable pay, benefits, and support from management to train young advisors.

      Longevity is key to success

      Pros

      Ability to set own schedule is cool, salary option in the first two years plus half of commission payout offers stability

      Cons

      Easy to hit a ceiling, and in Year 3 or 4 start to feel pressure of moving on to a different office or get stuck with crazy office fees

      This job is Pyramid Scheme and Joke

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They allow for tuition reimbursement

      Cons

      I graduated in 2021 and worked here for about a year. I got licensed and learned quickly this job was an absolute joke. They don't you until pass your Series 7 so you have to earn commission. They don't give you a salary until you pass your Series 66, which is only $24k and then cut your commission in half. Literally tying one hand behind your back. I left this company to find a real company in financial planning, Not this pyramid scheme joke
