Pros

There aren’t really any, I suppose flexible schedule and learning about a company you don’t want to be apart of

Cons

Too many to list, most of the reviews here on glass door are from managers and current employees that were told by their managers to give good reviews. Why? Because the managers live off of churning new employees because they receive hiring bonuses and overrides on your sales. It is just your normal pyramid scheme, the company locks your clients into long contracts, makes you pay for everything yourself, and then tries to bill you for things you shouldn’t have to pay for when you leave. Company won’t be around much longer, other than a life lesson you won’t gain much from working here other than maybe a stepping stone to a real financial services company. Most of the guys that work here have no idea about financial planning and are really just insurance salesman. It’s is very rare you will find a portfolio built by an Axa advisor that will outperform the market. Take my advice, and instead of learning the hard way like I did, wait for a better opportunity.

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.
