Pros

There is 3 weeks of vacation hours and 10 days of sick time (prorated depending on hire date). Vacation time is a use or lose plan (doesn't roll over). There are bonuses (prorated based on hire date) which are given out in February.

Cons

The offered salary was less than the asking salary. The Deerfield EVP is a Type A personality and has control issues . . . everything is the EVP's way or not at all. Expectation is to work after hours without pay and the company doesn't approve overtime. Unpaid lunch hour doesn't seem to be recognized and, if the EVP or an Advisor is asking for something, they need it right away. There is only 1 other daily employee there and the day can get boring and very quite when it's only 2 people in the office every day.

Pros

The autonomy and flexibility is awesome, paired with high earning potential. Pretty good training and mentoring opportunities, but the same opportunities aren't offered to all new advisors.

Cons

It was not clear that there is no real base salary, only an upfronting of commissions. Even that is low. Meanwhile, there is no flexibility or accommodations to be made if you can't hit the expected numbers, and if you don't hit said number at the end of a quarter, you'll be out of a job. It's perform or don't work here. Be prepared to make cold calls.
