Pros

nice business cards, paid training and licensing programs.

Cons

you are expected to pursue 200 of your closest friends and family members for business as soon as you finish your licensing, and if you are not aggressive enough with your mom, grandma, aunt, uncle, brother, friends, etc., then your manager will take over the meetings and try to make them purchase life insurance

Pros

Excellent training in sales practices, product knowledge, and the regulations of the financial services industry. Consistent and regular feedback of performance. Excellent benefits if you can make enough to pay for them.

Cons

100% commissions with no minimum salary. Income is reduced by weekly and monthly overhead related expenses. One never knows how much one will make in a given week or month which makes managing your personal budget extremely difficult. The FSA is expected to spend most of their time prospecting for clients via cold calling. The FSA expected to exploit existing personal and professional relationships which can impact those relationships very negatively. 3 year retention is less than 15%.
