      Pros

      -Great Benefit -Good support -Have a commission advance program -Management is good -Great values -Excellent insurance ratings

      Cons

      -Your performance is judged by how you do selling their insurance and annuity products. Investment products seem less important to them. -Really have to sell to your natural market to stay afloat in your first 6 months -Have to pay back commission advances -Have technology costs -Reduced some of their new FR incentives in the past year -Launch Managers seem over worked with having too many new FRs in their territory

      Primarily insurance sales. Good offerings all around, but stellar at none.

      Pros

      Company has a long history and honest products. Definitely not a fly-by-night operation. The biggest advantage is that the company works very hard to stay out of trouble areas in the industry and provide basic but reliable services. If you are a knockout insurance salesperson, you can do very well. Systems and processing support for reps are adequate. There are product offerings that allow for some sales in a variety of financial services areas (like insurance, investments, and banking).

      Cons

      You are on your own from day one. Like many small businesses, there's no salary, corporate marketing, brand recognition, nor assets under management for new hires. The monthly recurring costs are higher than many competitors and has significantly high turnover because of it. There are product offerings for a lot of different services, but they are not the top-tier in any of them. If you want to focus on investments, go to Edward Jones. If you want to sell insurance, got to New York Life. If you want to sell bank deposit products, join Chase. Compensation rates are relatively competitive for the industry but base salaries or corporate-covered expenses at most competitors usually make all the difference for new hires.

      Pros

      One of the few faith based Fortune 500 organizations out there. They have a great mission, vision and corporate values. Opportunity to move around the organization if you are a performer. They value work/life balance. Generous PTO package. Other benefits are okay. The medical insurance premiums are high compared to other large companies. Overall a good organization the I would recommend to my family and friends.

      Cons

      Name recoginition is not great if you are outside the Upper Midwest. They are a very conservative organization and seem to be run by the Compliance/Legal department. creativity allowed by Compliance to get the job done. Technology is horrible!
