Pros
My family has all been in insurance as an agent at one time or another. I avoided the "family business" for YEARS. I lost my job and decided to give insurance a try. My uncle had partnered recently with Family First Life and he really likes working with them. I decided to join him and I am glad I did. The comp is outstanding as is the training. It's nice to make my own hours as my girlfriend does not have a steady schedule so I work the days she works so we can have fun when she is off. I regularly listen to the trainings as I drive to appointments so I don't waste that time in the car. Well,I guess I got sucked into the family business after all.
Cons
I am not the biggest fan of being an independent contractor but I am getting used to it.
