Pros

Theoretically, you are a 1099 contractor. They paint the rosy picture regarding trips and earnings. However, in reality, they expect you to give up weekends and evenings for 6 months. - everything is bet on residuals, in which 75% are not around anymore to benefit. The "orphan accounts" and then given to only a few of the inside people.

Cons

You DO NOT have any access to managment to get questions answered from policyholders. They invoke the word "green time" and you are chastised if you take a call from a policyholder during these 2 hr blocks of time. This is NOT what customer service is about. "Do what I say, NOT what I do, is the manager's mantra."

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".
