Pros

Ability to make your own hours, good benefits, opportunity to be well compensated, own office, paid for training and to take securities tests.

Cons

Little to no assistance once you begin selling. Face a lot of rejection going door to door. NO help picking out a good market or help developing it. Little understanding for unique problems, strictly based on production numbers. Would not recommend for younger professional without a long list of previous contacts from another job such as insurance that you can bring with you.

Pros

- Decent benefits programs. - Teammates who cared about the quality of work they provided and the people they worked with. - Direct superiors who were people of integrity that I respect immensely and wish nothing but the best for.

Cons

- Recent removal of remote work for all associates regardless of how long they had worked remotely previously (13 years in my case). This push to onsite work will damage long term profitability and likely cause a mass exodus of talented associates (if it has not already). - Massive amount of offshore outsourcing that has greatly reduced the quality of work at the home office. - Lack of flexibility regarding work schedules that has severely damaged work-life balance.
