Pros

Good company that is committed to it's policy holders. Great renewals. If you are going to work for a life insurance company this is the one to do it at.

Cons

Really a very hard industry to enter without knowing a lot of people or having a large family that you can prospect. Will hire anyone that seems competent. Have seen a lot of people quit.
