Pros

None, the people are nice but it's easy to be nice when you're not paying someone.

Cons

Won't hire you right away instead you are placed in PEP/pre employment, this way they don't have to pay you or give you benefits. You are only offered employment after you make a certain amount of sales. Leads are very low quality. Constant turn over because of how bad the position is, your VP will be constantly interviewing and trying to trick new people into joining. You have to pay for the training and it is only returned if you contract. Getting paid takes forever even when you do make a sale. The software you use is charged to you via a payroll deduction, and the IT department is outsourced, incredibly unhelpful, and they deduct it from you pay. Do not work at this company.

Pros

Accessible stepping stone into the industry. Flexibility

Cons

Little transparency for employees, high pressure annuities and insurance sales with little real education or support on product or sales practice knowledge. Expect long hours while you learn to do recordkeeping and support work on your own while trying to meet goals that make sense for someone with a few years of prior experience, staff to help with paperwork and recordkeeping, and a decent lead funnel. You may not get any of these depending on branch and territory but you will still have a performance goal to keep your base pay and benefits that feels absurd to the new entrants they primarily target for recruitment.
