Pros

Set your own hours and schedule, decent company benefits, good brand name, unlimited income potential, good variety of products to sell, good access to existing and new product information through webinars and website.

Cons

Difficult to achieve the company's recognition conferences by selling to the average middle income client, and the bar just keeps getting raised every year. Being charged for office expenses when they should already be factored out of any commissions they pay FSR's. Having your commission percentage being reliant on previous sales volume and renewal volumes, and commissions held in a non interest bearing account and distributed weekly @ 10% of total account value.

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
