Pros

Compensation is fair compared to work load. Family oriented, employee loyalty, Employee Stock Option Plan is very generous, they care about employee health, supportive of improving one's knowledge

Cons

The company as a whole struggles with change, even if it is critical to the growth of the company. Salaries are low compared to the market and even lower if you are promoted within.

Pros

Flexible hours, base pay, good kick off program. You don't have to pay to play.The company is pro military.

Cons

You do not get leads. Any sales you make will be from personal contacts. You are not allowed to sell to anyone with GHI under $40,000 or active duty under E5. Get good at obtaining and meeting with referalls, it is the only way your business will grow. They do not invest much in marketing, other than hiring people with good looking networks. Once your personal well runs dry, you have no leads to turn to. This usually results in the advisor looking for another company to work for within a couple of years.

Pros

-A "salary assistance" helps you when first starting off -You get to know the company "higher-ups" pretty well -Good people to work with

Cons

-You need to be able to sell insurance. And lots of it. That is where you earn most of your money early in your career. -Each district is a separate situation, you may have a great manager who helps, you may have a bad manager who does not
