      Pros

      Unlimited opportunity to earn income... if you can get a stable of high net worth clients Flexible working hours for agents... except for weekly three hour org meetings for new agents, weekly three hour employee development meetings, monthly half day home office meetings... Great part-time job if you've got something else

      Cons

      commission-based income - you can feast or starve benefits contigent upon meeting sales quota training program for new agents concentrates on memorizing sales pitches, sales gimmicks, personal development and enticing you with possibility of unlimited income... little or no training in company products, services, or practices in life insurance industry

      Pros

      Right out of college, I had an opportunity with the New York Life. Being young I felt that I was at a disadvantage but I worked hard, I was relentless, and ambitious. My first full year, I was able to make a six-figure income. It wasn't easy but is medical school easy? Is law school easy? The training and development at New York Life was unmatched. I knew nothing about the Insurance and Financial Services industry until I was given an opportunity at New York Life and the training was exceptional and has led me to the success I have today.

      Cons

      You have to work hard, be relentless, entrepreneurial, invest a lot of time and effort into the business and above all, expect a higher standard of living and strive towards that goal every single day.
