Pros

Salary first few years along with commissions help to get started. Quality, highly rated products to sell.

Cons

Mgmt pushes heavily on life insurance production. Quoted premiums high relative to competition in some areas. Company does little marketing/name recognition.

Pros

I made a lot of money the first couple of years. I worked very hard and I definitely was a great agent for them. I made the Power Producers List for 3 years running. Then they decided that all agents should have their securities licenses. It took me a while to get it, (very difficult while still trying to sell). I got my license (only the 3rd one in the office to have it, out of 7 agents) and they started breathing down my neck to produce. I was supposed to be flipped to a career agent, but they flipped a male agent who didn't meet the criteria!!

Cons

The "managers" make more than $300,000 which doesn't include the commissions they make off the backs of the agents. Definitely a "good old boys" club and they are very narrow minded about their managers, who quite often have never been an agent. After they bought MSI back in 2003-2004, their rates went through the roof. And get rid of the FARM BUREAU!!! For God Sake, NO ONE wants to pay $20.00 to the Farm Bureau!!!
