Pros

You'll find out the benefits of life insurance.

Cons

The compensation plan is terrible, management only cares about splitting YOUR commission with you, the industry in a whole is too difficult. You have to have a relative who is an accountant or lawyer that can feed you business, otherwise you're struggling or working 24/7. You don't get the full support you need when handling real business, only kitchen table sales. Too many useless meetings that waste more time than they're worth, very repeticious.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
