Shortlist:
Salary worst in the industry
This position is the lowest on the totem pole, the positions above it are the same job with slightly better pay.
Overtime. Everyday. If you use any PTO that week overtime is 1.0x pay not 1.5x.
It is back-to-back phone calls. Two 15 minute breaks and a 30 minute lunch. Usually you work 9-10 hour days on top of that. Expect 60-80 calls a day, you could hit 100 if you didn't blow your brains out first.
Decent amount of PTO but they changed how you can use it, so it has to be scheduled way in advance.
Very old technology, makes your job harder and angers clients.
Advancement takes forever, if you even get the opportunity.
I'm very disappointed in myself for working here. The company is very unethical and is a waste of your career. The licenses you receive are irrelevant to the industry and are used for retention. This job is on the 401k side. You will not be able to speak to the same person again, take any clients with you, or gain any licenses relevant to the industry (you can get the Seires 7 if you're there long enough, but not worth the wait and they SEVERLY under pay you for it). IF you must work here work for the IRA side (personal investing) however Charles Schwab, Fidelity, Edward Jones, and LPL all have WAY better programs.
