Pros

A high profile company with value associated with its name and prestige. Great opportunity for advancement and promotions if one chooses to work for the company full-time as an employee. Workers give you great information and help you along on your journey to corporate life. Not a regimented work schedule, work at your own pace and leisure. Seemed flexible.

Cons

Not a work/life balance 'friendly' occupation. Long hours.

Pros

The GM and DM I worked with were excellent and knowledgeable. Compensation is good(relative for the insurance industry), its feast or famine

Cons

Dont treat agents fairly..i.e. not paying bonuses when we hit quotas Do thing without telling agents, such as messing with your taxes then you get a big surprize once it comes to tax season. The business revolves around aquiring business from you family and friends, cold calling, or knocking on doors.
