Pros

Very young environment, many in the office it’s their first career because of financial incentives for management based on hiring as many as possible. Decent opportunity for upward mobility into management for top sellers. Very entrepreneurial, can build your own practice. Unfortunately, this can sometimes be a bad thing for people in their first career as you don’t know the business and don’t have any connections.

Cons

Emphasis on selling life insurance and annuities. No cost of living adjustment across branches for pay. Low name recognition and we are going through a rebrand since we were sold by AXA so even less. Extremely dated technology that never works. Growing emphasis on selling proprietary inferior products that have high fees.

Pros

Accessible stepping stone into the industry. Flexibility

Cons

Little transparency for employees, high pressure annuities and insurance sales with little real education or support on product or sales practice knowledge. Expect long hours while you learn to do recordkeeping and support work on your own while trying to meet goals that make sense for someone with a few years of prior experience, staff to help with paperwork and recordkeeping, and a decent lead funnel. You may not get any of these depending on branch and territory but you will still have a performance goal to keep your base pay and benefits that feels absurd to the new entrants they primarily target for recruitment.
