Pros

Good health benefits. 8 weeks of pay. Decent training. Benefits start day one. I think that they often want to help out new employees.

Cons

Bad clients!!! Poor people. Book of business is a double-edged sword...you are often bothering people who have been bothered by many agents before you. Never really make it far.
