Interviewed at Northwestern about 3 months ago. Didn't like the 100% commission and the fact that you had to find all of your clients by practically going door to door.

they didnt mention how you get your leads to me

but almost anything in financial advising is 100% commission

i spoke with them, they want you to generate all of your own leads

they even gave me a worksheet that listed like family, friends, etc...

I assume it is a good job if you are a salesman. I, however, am not a salesman.

i talked to somebody who works there a couple of nights ago

he couldn't sell (insert clever thing that would be easy to sell)

he sat around and made cold calls all day every day and sucked at it

It's a sweet gig if you can get your hands on the Glengarry leads.

To you, these are gold; you do not get these. Because to give them to you would be throwing them away.

I interviewed there a few times and got called back. Its def. find your own leads, They wanted me to start and try to sell insurance and "financial planning" packages to my family.

My Aunt googled them for me and found a lot of sites actually warning people not to work for them.

they have a sheet in their packet about that website telling how bad it is and that a lot of their information is false or they edit it to get the point across that they want to portray about the company
