      Pros

      They give you free lunch and have a no layoff policy so there's good job security. The job is nine to five and you always know your work hours. The company tries their best to assist you if you feel like you would like to work in a different area of the organization.

      Cons

      Its a more traditional, conservative company so it may take longer to work your way up. The base compensation was competitive but still no the highest out there. As well, there was no signing bonus. The aggressive tactics used for selling the insurance as well as finding people to sell it really irritate a lot of people and do not give them a good impression of an otherwise great company.

      The Most-Admired Insurance Company, A Great Place to have a Successful Career

      Pros

      Ethical corporate culture, openness and abundance mentality, unlimited opportunity if you're willing to put in the work, total flexibility in client building and work schedule. Great training and support from the company. Great products, AAA ratings and a sterling reputation make me proud to represent the best company in the business. Personal and professional growth are encouraged and supported; there is no limit to what you can do in this company other than your own self-doubt.

      Cons

      This business is not for everyone (true at any company). You have to be a self-starter. Nothing is handed to you except an opportunity. If you are not willing to work hard you will find it hard to survive, and eventually you will be asked to leave.
