Pros
There are so many different ways you can take your career, and this company gives you all of the tools to back you up regardless of which way you end up going! You can be a solo act, or join a large producer group. Make your own schedule, work as many or few hours as you like and there is no salary cap. It’s nice to work in an industry where you get out of it what you put into it! No one to blame but yourself, no politics. I absolutely love how I can still participate in my kids school activities while making enough money to support our family.
Cons
It takes time to build your business. It will be difficult at first. You’ll have to put in a lot more time and effort the first few years, not only to become good at what you’re doing but to build your client base. It is well worth the time and effort, but don’t expect to come into this industry and be completely successful from day one!
