Pros

Every thing that you need is right on their Springfield campus. The management is great and plenty of training opportunity is available.

Cons

There are a lot of people there who have been there a long time. That affects the culture, it makes people beleieve that the old way of doing things is the best way.

Pros

You are responsible for starting a business from scratch. This means that you have complete freedom in terms of your hours and pay. The more you work the more you make, and there is no one looking over your shoulder telling you what to do. There is a lot of freedom and the potential to make a lot of money in a relatively short period of time.

Cons

On the flip side, if you don't put in the time and effort you won't make much. The job was almost completely commission based and asking a recent college graduate to build a business from scratch is easier said than done. There is a very high attrition rate in the industry because most people are simply not cut out for this kind of work.

Pros

Well recognized for training within the industry Excellent financial strength ratings Freedom to structure your own work day Freedom to build your own book in any way you can

Cons

Lack of experienced agents dedicated to training newbies in the field Less brand recognition among the general population Unpaid training period can leave you hungry for months Very little to no sincere focus on comprehensive financial planning (heavy emphasis on selling insurance) Overemphasis on selling to family and friends as opposed to developing a sustainable prospecting method to be used daily
