Pros

Opportunity to build long term net worth with our ownership benefits. Meet with a variety of high level executives, business owners, attorneys, and other people of influence in the KC area. Culture of rewarding people for the results of their efforts, not off of personalities/politics

Cons

Building a clientele can be a long and difficult process. Like any sales position, you face a lot of rejection. Must be mentally tough to keep the long term vision in mind. It is a lot of work the first several years in the business. There is no time clock, but to be successful in your first few years it will require putting in 10+ hour work days in order to do the necessary work to keep a full pipeline of prospects to call on. There's no company car, company phone, or company credit card. We are all owners of the business and we pay out the profits back to the employees in the form of dividends, profit sharing and bonuses. The less we spend as a company, the more $$$ can be put into the accounts of the employees who put in the work.

Pros

Not only is there unlimited opportunity/commission, but there’s unlimited personal development. The leaders constantly are challenging me to think with principles, think big for my goals, and giving me resources to achieve those goals. The people I get to serve for my clients are to top division makers, influencers, and income earners in Austin and I’m honored that they trust us to serve them.

Cons

Building a business requires thinking big, thinking strategically, and getting out of my comfort zone. As with any business, the better you do the more problems you face and are challenges to solve.
