Pros

Excellent brand and name brand recognition. Computers, software, systems and training supplied by company. All excellent. Earn residual income, new commissions and an excellent year end bonus. Annual bonus provided by company based on production to invest for retirement. Traveled around the world on incentive trips. Fully paid by company. Excellent accomodations. Praise and recognition important to company and it's agents. Most agents are helpful in helping each other achieve goals. Management supportive and willing to help in any way they can. Most agents are lifetime agents. Excellent benefits. Great agent and staff training.

Cons

Cannot sell book of business. Company owns accounts. Cannot purchase books of business or accounts. Not a good place for average or below sales and management talent. Takes a few years to develop a good cash flow. Not ideally suited for individuals who do not have cash to carry them in early years.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
