Pros
Develop thick skin on the phones, accountability, structure, build camaraderie with others at your level, learn basics about tax/financial planning
Cons
Cold calling if you can’t get anything out of your natural market, you don’t get paid until you close cases or contract, even then your manager takes almost half. If you don’t have the savings in your account to last 6 months, don’t go. It’s pretty similar to a pyramid scheme without calling itself a pyramid scheme. Education and training schedules would change month to month, sometimes leaving trainings up to associates that have been there for less than 2-3 years. Having associates pay up front for licensing when they’re out of college and only reimbursing when they pass is a disservice to the employee. A majority of other companies in the same space pay for the licensing materials, test, and a wage while they study.
