Hard work but worth it.

Pros

Great team atmosphere with co-workers who become friends. Ability to make great money, challenging and engaging career. It gets easier and easier over time as you build up your clients. Great training too.

Cons

You must be self motivated, you will be guided and helped with what to do but you need to go out and do it yourself. Getting started can take a lot of time and effort to build up your business but once you do it will be rewarded.

Tough to breakeven

Pros

They hire virtually anybody out of college as there is virtually no overhead per employee.

Cons

It is near impossible to do what is right for the client and still earn a decent living in the first 5 years. Annuity products are pushed hard from the top down.
