Pros

Strong values as a company Excellent earning potential Positive impact on community Faith/Work/Family Life Balance Best Regional Managing Partners in our industry

Cons

Paperwork, NIGOs and other hassles of a financial job Sometimes a "benevolent bureacracy" Just beginning to allow reps to be entrepeneurial You still have to get in front of people to help them buy. Selling is hard!

Pros

Overall I had a good experience there. They give you a book of business to start. Overall good company. The emphasis is on insurance but they are starting to branch out into managed accounts. They are still primarily an life insurance company.

Cons

The first few years are tough. You will not make a lot of money at first. Make sure you get a book that has not been run through by 5 new people who didnt make it. You can't feel weird about marketing through church events

Pros

Decent pay and benefits. Flexible schedule, which includes nights and weekends. Most of the employees have a somewhat shared value system and shared beliefs.

Cons

Goals are constantly changing, sometimes quarter to quarter. Restructures and constant (4 in 4 years). No clear direction. Inferior investment and insurance products. Selling on faith and shared values, but values are not lived out in business practices.
