Pros

If you get a good relationship with an Agency Owner, you can get leads. Most of the good agents go to the long time high producing Financial Specialist. They do give an upfront bonus here in Michigan of $5,000 so hopefully you won't starve, but you can't support a family. You make your own hours, but if you dont work you dont get paid.

Cons

-Numerous broken promises about money to be made and which partners I would work with. -Very young manager, very difficult to get a hold of -They say they want to do investment business, but it is not true they are not set up at all to do investments. -Very poor computer systems. Very poor support for agents and FS. -No humans to talk to unless you got thru 10 prompts with voice robots. -Sorry to say this but very low percentage of employees who have completed college.

Pros

It's a friendly company culture and is welcoming to a lot of different kinds of people. It doesn't make you feel like you're in the mean corporate jungle.

Cons

That being said about the lack of corporate jungle culture, it is easy to grow complacent with the work, but that might just be from my personal perspective.
