From my experience it is common for them to provide you with a phone number and desk and to charge you for that phone, desk, photocopies etc.
If at all possible I would see if you can have say your cell # as your contact number on your business card for if and when you move on its unlikely but worth a shot.
Why do you say when I move on? Do you think I can fail as Mass? I am currently captive with and my set up is much much different and I am nervous about taking on expenses along with trying to find people to call and prospect since I always worked from a list (not the greatest) and never had to find people to call. I was always just pushing life so people would not always grant appts.
I think you (and anyone else for that matter) can fail anywhere.
You have a list of 1,000 existing clients and that's the only list you can work? (just from what I can recall from previous threads)
That's putting you at a huge disadvantage right off that bat. I think it's a wonder you've survived there under those conditions, nearly anything should be an improvement from that.

So what happens say 5 years down the road and you decide you want to move on to somewhere else. If and this is a big if if you are a registered rep, if your clients have a phone number you control as opposed to a number your GA controls which is better.
I hope everything is all you could ever hope form. But always plan for if things don't go well.
