Pros

Position comes with a targeted market. You are given one or more Lutheran churches to work in. Most prospecting calls are lukewarm not cold. The marketing method works even in a down market and what you do really makes a difference in peoples lives.

Cons

Success largely depends on who you get as a mentor. The one week of formal training you get to start does not prepare you to fully function. Leadership will let you flounder without concern. You are on your own. Don't rock the boat. If you are a producer you can get away with anything. Product offerings are very narrow. New FA's although fully licensed are not allowed to sell individual stocks and bonds. System pushes propriatary life insurance and annuities.

Pros

They have many years of experience backing them. Everyone is very friendly and they are accommodating during the initial process.

Cons

The number of things you have to do in order to begin working. No second chances

Pros

Best place to work in the country! There is a common concern for every employee as well as every member that has a policy or policies with this company.

Cons

Computers are a fact of life, but constant change of programs & software can drive you crazy! Also it would be great for H.O. employees to know more about how the agents in the field, who work to write the business that fuels the co. work. H.O. voice mail is awful!!!
