Pros

Training is very good. The company pays for your life, health and NASD licensing.

Cons

Low Hanging Fruit... Solicit Insurance products to Friends and Family, and then your on your own after that to sell insurance product to everyone else. When you don't make your sales numbers, you get warning letters on top of warning letters. Then you eventually quit because your not making any money. You spend lots of time and your own money marketing and pushing insurance products to just about any one alone. Not a team environment! The office even wants you to pay for photo copies and faxes. Then after a certain amount of time, you have to pay for your office space. Work Life balance is very bad. You spend all of your time going from house to house chasing potential clients. More than half does not show up for appointments. Insurance products are more expensive compared to other companies. Most of the time, the client finds less expensive coverage else where. Compliance office is very very strict. When you no longer work for this company, they now have your friends and family accounts and they re hire someone in your place to get their friends and family accounts. High turn over... Revolving Door. They make more money from you, then you from them.

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
