Pros

Great company if you have an entrepreneurial mindset and know how to market yourself well. Even better if you have a book of business to take with you or already have a well established network. Lot's of valuable resources at your disposal assuming you have prospects or clients to utilize them on. Open architecture within the company gives you a competitive advantage against other firms who only push their proprietary products.

Cons

Hard place to start if you're new to the business. You're not really given any leads and kind of left to fend for yourself. Two options when it comes to pay (either salary $2k a month plus reduced commissions or all commissions with a bonus)

Pros

There are so many different ways you can take your career, and this company gives you all of the tools to back you up regardless of which way you end up going! You can be a solo act, or join a large producer group. Make your own schedule, work as many or few hours as you like and there is no salary cap. It’s nice to work in an industry where you get out of it what you put into it! No one to blame but yourself, no politics. I absolutely love how I can still participate in my kids school activities while making enough money to support our family.

Cons

It takes time to build your business. It will be difficult at first. You’ll have to put in a lot more time and effort the first few years, not only to become good at what you’re doing but to build your client base. It is well worth the time and effort, but don’t expect to come into this industry and be completely successful from day one!
