I just picked butchers randomly. I knew a guy years ago who was also working full-time until he was able to make ends meet with WFG. He was in IT though. I also have a friend who is a painter and was approached to "just get an insurance license and refer all your friends."
There are probably some decent advisors with WFG, but just the idea that they let people operate in a part-time capacity and press for recruits is concerning. Frankly this role is a large responsibility. I would feel terrible if I had someone re-mortgage their home and invest it all only to see them have to work an extra decade to pay it all off.
