Pros

Flexible hours; you choose your own hours for the most part and as your client base gets established, you don't have to work as hard. The hard work is in the beginning. High pay once you get your client base established and get going. It is rewarding and you get to make a difference in other people's lives. You get out of it what you put into it. The people here are great and very friendly and humorous.

Cons

Commission, which has it's pros and cons. A lot of hard work, long hours, and one of the hardest jobs in the world. You have to find your own clients, but that is a huge part of the job in this industry and you have to do that no matter where you go. The managers and training is excellent. You learn a lot really fast and the managers and trainers are very good. They educate you well, get you well prepared, and keep you motivated to help you achieve success in such a hard industry.

Pros

Good training process, lots of help and support. Can get insurance license, series 7/63/65/66 in short amount of time. Plenty of tools and social, upbeat atmosphere. Good benefits. Can be very lucrative if you are well connected and not afraid to leverage your relationships for sales opportunities.

Cons

Not entirely transparent in interviewing process. Weird payment structure (very small salary option, that eventually goes to only commissions). Heavily dependent on natural market (friends and family). Very little help establishing client base outside of natural market. Very little income in beginning. Not a good career choice if just starting out of college (such as myself). Must put a lot of work in upfront with very little pay, potential long term (very long term...) rewards.
