Overall rating: 3/5
Employment status: current

Average to say the least.  Salary extremely lower than industry average.
Pros: The referral opportunity in the bank channel offers a great ability to succeed.  You work with partner within the branch ie business banker, mortgage personnel, bankers, and managers to acquire business opportunities.  You have full access to the book of business from the bank side to call and sell.
Cons: If your placed in the wrong branch/location/demographics the ability to succeed is difficult.  If you enter with the intention of moving up it might be harder than they like to make it appear.  You are golden if your the guy who slings all of your clients into the inappropriate investment making tons of money.  If you are the ethical advisor that does the 'right thing' for your client you are left behind to say the least.  Compensation works when you sell your clients that things that don't work for them.  They pitch you on a book of business that you walk into but the residual it typically pittens.
