Pros

Working for a faith-based company that does its best to practice Christian values in their operations. Financially stable with excellent insurance products. Ability to work independently or with joint fieldwork partners.

Cons

You reinvest most of your income into office rent, licensing fees, marketing, etc, so it's hard to make enough to support your own expenses plus office expenses. The sales goals for the insurance side of the business are difficult to acheive if you are not hard-charging, which can be contrary to Christian values. The compensation system was changed in 2013 and was so confusing that it was de-motivating. Regional management was quick to ask why you weren't meeting goals and slow to provide needed one-on-one consultation.

Pros

Would have been a good opportunity IF it went through.

Cons

BEWARE! They do not disclose a very long and tedious interview process. 3 interviews with a post interview call. Background check, credit check, amongst multiple items to complete in portal. Many emails to respond to. Speaking with 4+employees throughout the process. Did NOT disclose that start date was 3 months post job posting.
