Pros
Potential for six figures within two years is there. The grind of sales week in and week out is not for everyone, but for those who excel in that environment, it is a fantastic opportunity. The atmosphere in the office is always positive and fun. There is fast growth opportunity, especially for brokers who become successful and are willing to transfer to other cities.
Cons
Work life balance is probably the biggest issue. You cannot come into this job expecting to work 40 hours a week and be done. Very few become successful this way. Finding new business is very difficult and time consuming. Expect high levels of stress each week. If it were easy to do the job and make 100k then everyone would do it. You have to come into the job prepared to work hard.
