Pros

So, let me just tell you that the company is great. They offer a lot of incentives to join and really try and pump you up as far as 'spearheading this new chapter in your life'. But, it's just not there. You get scholarships (which you should definitely have them clarify in the FIRST interview), the training is tedious but good, the environment is awesome.

Cons

You'll sell life insurance to your family.... and if your family doesn't know more people you can sell to, then you cold call. And if cold calling doesn't pan out, you don't make any money. They leave you high and dry when you approach them and tell them you've hit a dead end. You have your "natural market" and that's it. Oh, and if you're struggling, they tell you to 'team sell'.. which is fine, IF you want to split your commission with that other sales person. So you get the lead, you set the appointment, you drive there to talk to this person and you have to split part of the commission because someone else is there to "help" you.

Pros

Some of the benefits are great.

Cons

There appears to be a significant issue with favoritism and conflicts of interest within certain areas of the organization. In some cases, close personal relationships between managers and employees seem to influence opportunities, recognition, and how people are treated. This creates a perception that being part of an inner circle is valued more than performance, accountability, and doing quality work. Employees who are not part of these groups can feel excluded, overlooked, or treated differently. There are also concerns about inconsistent standards, where certain individuals appear to have more flexibility or latitude than others.
