Pros

Company I wanted to retire from until I was told to leave for reasons I still do not understand. Loved majority of my co-workers and still keep in contact with quite a few. Company has a great benefit package.

Cons

Computer systems always seem to fail at most inopportune times. Agents/Financial Representatives are treated like royalty and "are never wrong" even when they are. Company is afflicted by cliques and croneys (especially so in mid-level management) i.e. if you are not part of or are included in certain circles, it is impossible advance. If you go into work, do your job and not want to participate in gossip or office politics, you are destined to fail.

Pros

Strong base salary for the industry, good training provided in home offices (Bloomington, IL), underwriters, claims department, agent support and technical support are all helpful and easy to get a hold of.

Cons

Home offices are too far removed from what the market is doing in the Western United States to adjust accordingly. Hard to compete on getting in front of people when you can't be competitive on price. Management is interested in helping those that get off to a fast start, but pays less attention to those wanting to succeed that may need a little boost initially in getting their business off the ground. The benefits are good but very expensive for an entire family. Difficult getting life insurance policies issued because of the strict underwriting guideline, making it harder to help clients and achieve sales goals.
