Going back to the dark ages

Pros

Solid philosophy with Living Balance Sheet; some great people in Home Office; many amazing General Agents. Protection 1st Philosophy is the only proper way to work with clients.

Cons

The true talent in the Home Office has been slashed to the bone, and replaced with people with NO actual field experience, which will result in the slow death of the high quality programs offered over the last 5 years. The new Head of Distribution is a 401K/ Wholesaler expert, but lacks the basic understanding of what an agency needs to flourish. This is evident by the cuts made and the newly minted replacements. Hiring the wrong female just to hit a quota, will result severe backlash.

Pros

very good training to prepare for B2B and B2C, the use of technology improved.

Cons

Does not pay full premium to financial representatives, the commissions paid are pieced off, and the errors and omissions coverage is way to expensive as well as the benefits. Not enough incentives to become a financial representative and best to broker policies.
