Pros

The management teams will make you feel welcome and show support for you as you gain your licenses and get started.

Cons

This place will suck you dry. Do not expect to receive much or any compensation while getting started here, even after you “contract,” because the compensation structure mirrors a pyramid scheme. Upper management is a walking red flag from the first time you might them. Long hours, they want you to sell to friends and family, and the financial products they offer aren’t even good. And if you’re a woman, good luck because all the men who work here will belittle you in some way.

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.
