Pros

Work your own hours, build your business your way, good company branding

Cons

High turn around rate, 100% commission, clawbacks if policies are declined after months of underwriting, your friends and family often distance themselves from you in case you try to sell them something, many people leave the company owing them money from office rentals, clawbacks, and the outrageously expensive benefits package.

Pros

Smart driven colleagues Nice work environment (new build)

Cons

Management consists of many old folks clubbers - they have been there 20-35 years and tehy want you to know it. They have fortified to protect each other. Bad unprofessional behviour by male colleagues who intimidate female colleagues (who they do not want to work with) - and the behaviour is protected by managers who have friendships with these males. An old boys club for sure although they profess to including women. But all women in high positions are tenured (20-30 years) and do not want younger females displacing them.
