Pros
Good support, training, accountability. Compared to other MLM style insurance companies Symmetry isn't bad. You're going to start off on a low contract and a manager/mentor who will check in and help you become profitable asap. Keep track of mileage and expenses, otherwise taxes are going to be a beast. ONLY take the Symmetry route if you have a lot of money saved to get you through until you have built override income with a strong team. I don't understand why in the world some people work at Symmetry for years as personal producers and pay such high lead prices with low commissions. This system makes you profitable when you are hiring and climbing the commission ladder: If you have the patience and funds to make it that long!
Cons
Difficult to make a profitable income stream in the first year. I would rather not waste a year to only break-even when I can do something to make 50-60k and definitely more the following years (and not have to deal with buying convention tix, going to weekly meetings, listening to conference calls 3x+ a week. It's the hardest insurance sales and least profitable so you'll need to plug in to keep yourself motivated. There's a lot of money to be made in insurance if you have a strong work ethic and find the right partners. If you need a "boss" to tell you what to do and when to do it, work with Symmetry.
