Pros

Compensation is probably somewhat better than average, managment allows for some work life balance and flexibility

Cons

stressful, high-sometimes unrealistic expectations. Advancement opportunities are limited and politically motivated. Pay plan keeps changing. Expected to work harder for less money

Pros

Decent office environment, other team members are enjoyable to work with. Relatively flexible about taking a day off when something comes up.

Cons

Get paid retail wages to deal with countless BS and idiot customers. Commissions are a joke, zero incentive to make sales. Constant pressure from an overbearing agent to achieve grandiose sales goals in a low-income county saturated with other SF agents. Mind numbing boredom. Necessary to complete continuing courses unpaid on my own time to maintain a license for a less than $10/hour job. Worst job I have ever had.

Pros

Paid Training is about it.

Cons

New contract sucks. They lie to you from day one. Will not show you the contract until after you put in over 2 years of your life. Most new agents will go bankrupt within 5 years. Management does not care what happens to the new agents.
