Pros

A lot of freedom, and the ability to be your own boss. You don't have much support, so be ready to be your own boss.

Cons

The compensation plan leaves a lot to be desired. They tell you that you can sell every product and company, but if you don't sell Minnesota Life insurance products you can't meet your quota. If you don't meet your quota, you won't get your stipend. It takes too long to get your own business up to where you can make a decent living. YOU NEED AT LEAST 5 YEARS BEFORE YOU WILL BE MAKING ANYTHING LIKE 100K.
