I was with the company for 11 years from 2007 to 2018. I got sick and stepped away for 5 years. While I was gone WFG still paid me the 5 years I was away. When I decided to return, I started at the same position I had when I left. No business is easy but I have been supported by the leadership and the business platform from the beginning.
I have built businesses before and have never had a company follow through on their commitments like I have had here!

WFG Best Company to work with. its doors wide, trains, encouragingGes and supports you along each milestone.
WFG has been such an amazing breath of fresh air. At 79 years of age I work because I want to not because I have to. My husband is now working on his license as well.
The personal growth has been amazing, the mentorship top notch. Having guidance
Ce, encouragement all along the journey I can’t even put into words how supportive all our team, others in the office and even the top people.
After numerous years working in the “Concrete Jungle” of downtown Calgary and the atmosphere that was survival of the fittest, no recognition for your work, no overtime

I’ve read a wide range of opinions—both positive and negative—about World Financial Group, and one recurring concern is the perception that it is a scam or a multi-level marketing (MLM) company. I’d like to address that concern directly.
In the insurance brokerage industry, compensation is largely performance-based. Firms such as New York Life and MassMutual may offer a temporary training stipend, but once that period ends, compensation is primarily commission-based. These firms also encourage both sales and recruitment, which is standard in the industry. When you recruit, you may earn overrides, which represent a small percentage of the production generated by those you recruit.
World Financial Group operates in a similar manner, with one key difference: WFG does not provide a company-funded training stipend unless an established branch owner chooses to offer one independently. Where WFG differs from traditional MLM structures is in how overrides are handled. In MLM models, overrides can continue to grow indefinitely through multiple levels of recruitment. In contrast, insurance companies—including New York Life, MassMutual, and WFG—cap overrides. After a certain point, compensation transitions to a structure based on prior performance, such as a percentage of previous earnings and eligibility for bonuses, which is more comparable to profit-sharing and performance incentives.
Like any brokerage, there are platform or licensing fees, which may be lower than some firms and higher than others. If an individual pays these fees but does not succeed, that outcome is not necessarily the firm’s fault. Success in this industry requires specific skills, discipline, and commitment.
To be successful in insurance and financial services, you must be able to identify genuine client needs, communicate honestly, and operate with integrity. The industry is highly regulated, with strict government standards. If an advisor cannot consistently meet those standards, clients will recognize it, and long-term success will be unlikely.
