Pros

Opportunity is certainly there for those who want to hustle. And when I say that plan on working 6 days a week because the only way to make sizeable commissions is to call people who are currently working. I also found that the other agents were helpful in pointing the newer agents in the right direction.

Cons

Bankers claims to be targeting and serving the middle class but the reality is that nearly all the appointments I went on were folks just scraping by each month. The goal is noble but the problem is that when funds become tight, which they inevitably do, the policies do not stay enforce. I would say that over the course of the 7 months that I was employed by Bankers nearly 70% of the policies I sold ended up being charged back. The result was that I made no money.

Pros

Bankers provides award winning training, an elaborate product portfolio and a rapidly growing market. They leverage cutting edge technology: contact and LEAD management, electronic business submission, an incredible proprietary mobile application. I have 11 companies I can be appointed with - making sure my clients get the best program for what they NEED. A great opportunity to receive great training, work with great people and make a great living, all for helping people.

Cons

This opportunity is just that, an opportunity. Those who don't take advantage of it won't think it is a good one. Even successful people deal with a ton of rejection, thick skin is needed. With a 40% closing ratio, I still hear "No" more than "Yes".
