Pros

flexible schedule, ability to choose your joint work partner and decide commission splits amongst yourselves

Cons

Everyone lies to you, about everything. Start-up costs are never completely disclosed, same goes for on-going expenses (about $450 per month, not including health insurance costs and any marketing you want to do). IF you actually make any money, the commission statements are impossible to read, and costs are deducted -often ending in NEGATIVE commissions that go into "recovery" that they will send lawyers after you to regain. There are SO MANY negatives here, it's rediculous. Unless you have a pre-established book of business you KNOW you can work, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE!

Freedom to create your own calendar. Get paid for the amount of effort you are willing to put in. Support for pursuing professional designations.

Cons

Commissions generated for AXA is the be all and end all at this company. Sink or swim mentality of managers.
