Business Outlook
Pros
Working for an agent, who is sel-employed, can be flexible. There are opportunities within the office to perform many functions from writing policies to marketing and customer service. If the book of business exceeds 1,000 policies, the phone calls are constant. Getting insurance license is usually required. This provides a great deal of information and is transferable to other companies.
Cons
There is no room for promotion as you are not an employee of Farmers Insurance but of the Agent. If Sales are poor it can affect the stability of job. Very little training. Their CRM system is complex and billing is cumbersome.
