Pros

Set your own hours and schedule, decent company benefits, good brand name, unlimited income potential, good variety of products to sell, good access to existing and new product information through webinars and website.

Cons

Difficult to achieve the company's recognition conferences by selling to the average middle income client, and the bar just keeps getting raised every year. Being charged for office expenses when they should already be factored out of any commissions they pay FSR's. Having your commission percentage being reliant on previous sales volume and renewal volumes, and commissions held in a non interest bearing account and distributed weekly @ 10% of total account value.

Pros

They offer some good products in Life insurance and back it up with good marketing materials. There appears to be good brand recognition in the marketplace

Cons

Managers are far more concerned with hiring new people than they are with growing and helping the existing agents. Tremendous turnover of agents tells you all you need to know.
