Business Outlook
Pros
Local branches with head office backing. Marketing dollars available for agents to spend. Starting "salary" is good. Product training is great.
Cons
Corporate expects you to spend money out of pocket for marketing. Your agency manager can make or break the position. LOTS OF TURNOVER. High pressure to perform. Starting Salary is advance on commission. Turn away more clients than you can insure. You do not leave training feeling prepared to do the job at all. If you do not have a large network for immediate business, reconsider this position, most of my colleagues have worked in car sales, real estate or have deep connections within the community, building a COI network takes time, but management expects immediate results.
