Pros
The product platform is acceptable but nothing stellar.
Cons
This firm is mired in sales methods that were popular in 1952, namely door-to-door hawking, complete with hawker's license. Prospective clients generally resent having their privacy invaded by a salesman and this approach offends more prospects than it attracts. The company insists on twenty-five knee-to-knee contacts daily, a requirement that means four to six hours of residential tramping each day. The company prefers neophyte advisers to trained and experienced professionals. They take advantage of the uninitiated.
