Pros

If you work, you will do well. You must be ready to build from scratch. The process is extremely tough but can be rewarding.

Cons

Full commission - very difficult to start out. Must be willing to prove yourself. Not for the faint of heart....must be willing to put in maximum effort.

Pros

Great Flexibility to choose how you run your business and who to want to work with. Great Autonomy Great potential compensation Control over your schedule and your business

Cons

Training is limited to life insurance products only, you have to find other ways to learn investments and other insurances. Quality of training is dependent on your branch/location. Corporate support and technology is pretty poor. Difficult business, most people don't make it.

Pros

If you have a large family with lots of money you can sell annuities too then you can make a lot of money. Just make sure they actually know what they are getting into.

Cons

The Empire which consists of Buffalo/Rochester/Syracuse clearly told all of their employees to come on and write good reviews since the company was getting bashed so much. The managers need good reviews on here because that's the only way they can bring new people in. They don't truly make you aware of what your getting into and all the costs associated with working there. They tell you you're a "Comprehensive Financial Planner" but your just an annuity sales person. They hire anyone and would love to sell your family and friends Annuities. in reality you won't last longer than 2 years at the most then they get your family as clients when your done.
