Avantages
- There are opportunities to earn money but it's not easy and takes a lot of time. When joining they will make false promises. Realistically you will be on the very low BDA salary for a year before you start seeing your commission. (I worked for 7 months and didn't see any) - Office I worked in was nice and was in a good location. (I worked in a major city in Europe, not sharing where to protect my own anonymity.) - Some people were very helpful - The training is pretty good and the information is there if you need it. - After some time if you're good the company will pay for your exams to become a qualified financial advisor
Inconvénients
Please keep in mind that this review is based on my experaince at the office I worked at, I honestly feel like other officies are different. - Salary very low - Lot of false promises regarding earning money. - The work is of course legal but it's just not moral. Their clients aren't tricked but the things that we were told to say made me uncomfortable. - The hiring process was pushy and pressured me to accept and described the job a lot better than the reality. - The management at my office was the worst part. Not involved or interested and made the environemnt uncomfortable. - Requires an investment to get started. I had to buy suits and use my own computer. - The job is boring, just looking on linkedin all day. The truth is I feel stuipid for being tricked into thinking this could be a good job. I've left this reveiw here to hopefully help someone who is considering this position. If you don't mind doing immoral work and you want to make money it could be for you. I've left 2 starts because I think that if I worked in a different office it would have been a bit better.
