100% right

Advise is another word for sales. you don;t do any actual advising, at least not at the branch level (proving grounds). you have a quota to maintain (eg, approve $300,000 of mutual funds every 3 months). if you dont hit that quota you're in the office with your boss. if you exceed it consistently, you're in for a bonus.

for a sales job, financial advising is pretty low pressure, since people are already approved for some degree of credit or ready with cash in hand for investments.
