Pros

As with most insurance companies and commissioned sales jobs, there is a high degree of flexibility.

Cons

High sales targets, minimal training and a hostile environment where your co-workers are only out for themselves makes for an uncomfortable and unwelcoming workplace.

Pros

Agents with long work history can be a resource The operations staff locally was strong and helpful Existing clients could be contacted about new products Sales Directors were open to help agents

Cons

The communication about how to submit basic (non-insurance) products was poor from HQ-based service areas. There was management talk to encourage an agent to offer several different products and serve a client's needs with the best fit for them among many product choices. The reality however, was that it took too much time to master the work flow of more than a few products. The most successful agents stuck to one or two products and did their best to master those.
