Business Outlook

Pros

A lot of offices in the area.

Cons

The technology is very difficult to use. Everything requires dozens of steps. They keep raising the fees to work there and you already give them a high percentage of your commission. You get very little for the money. There are not a lot of people on staff to help the agents. They are now asking to hold your credit cards so they can charge you by the 2nd of January. The company hasn't made a profit yet. They are desperate for money.
