Pros

Lots of flexibility, very open communication, plenty of opportunities for extended training and growth, very diverse environment, and ability to make your own schedule of appointments

Cons

It was extremely difficult to survive solely on commission, at least for me. When the commissions did eventually come in, there was always a possibility of it being relinquished if the customer canceled their policy or if it lapsed. Management also expected you to pretty much devote your whole life to the position. If you're not excited about heavy pressure selling or passionate about insurance, I wouldn't recommend this position.
