Pros

Great support, mostly made up of professional and motivated employees that understand relationship building and keys to success. To be honest, the Agent position is an excellent opportunity if you "have what it takes". People who have good personal skills, honest, hardworking and intelligent will do well. It is not for the weak willed or people looking for instant gratification because all good work takes time to master along with real/honest effort.

Cons

The truth is (and I mean this as objectively as possible) the Agent position is not as easy as it seems but can be very rewarding if worked at with the right attitude and planning. Also, it would be nice if the company helped out with some expenses for agents (although if you sell enough it's worth it anyways)

Pros

The initial training is good - they put you on a plane and send you to Chicago for two weeks all expenses pay. I did meet some really nice people, that seem to really care if I succeeded. In the initial week after you get back from Chicago your trainer or market manager will bust his butt trying to make sure you get your "initial award" in order to make everyone look good and prove to you that "Mr. Stones system really does work. The company is full of RA RA !! moments and you will definitely visit (drive) a lot of places the you didn't even know that existed.

Cons

After your first week in the field - It all basically on you!! They tell you, that you can make as much as you want to. However, that is not a completely a true statement - your selling a product that people really don't need. The people your selling to are basically living paycheck to paycheck and are on a very tight budget ($20 can be too much for them to pay each month). Your basically running around all day around town with a book going from business to business (cold) trying to sell a $20 accident policy. Most people are nice, but some are not. Your spending lots of money on gas and eating out and now with the new national health care law - people have to buy health care and combined products are not considered "Major Medical". This is not a good career choice - don't be fool by all the talk about making millions and making all your dreams come true. Your dreams will soon turn into financial nightmares.
