Pros

-Excellent Insurance company. It's very easy to stand behind their insurance products given their financial strength and history in the industry. -The people there other than my managing partner (manager/person who hired me) all seemed very competent and helpful.

Cons

-The interview process was very detailed in the way they describe compensation. The only problem, and the thing they don't make clear, is that you receive ZERO compensation until you sell 6 life cases to non-immediate family members. -The managing partner also led me to believe that I would be compensated for the materials I purchased to study for my insurance and securities licenses. I was told later that I was mistaken. -They put on a welcome to the company seminar where they proclaimed the reason to work for them was that they invested in their employees. After I hired in (late november/early december) I was informed that the management had decided to cancel the two week training session to allow the new agents time in the field to sell the six cases. No training, no description of what types of products they offer, nothing.

Pros

Great training, nice people, good opportunities for self-starters and enthusiastic people

Cons

Too much mandatory phoning/cold-calling time. You need to be in the office at the times you might wish to be out on an appointment. Very strictly by the numbers
