Eventful, yet rewarding.

Pros

You have the independence of a business professional with the infrastructure and resources of a large company. The brand precedes you and gives you a good name in the community.

Cons

The agency distribution system contradicts itself when management objectives don't align with individual business owner objectives. There's obviously more compensation to management for working with newer representatives.
