Pros

It can work for you if you are fresh out of college or have no need for income for atleast a year. For example, if you’re living with your parents and have no responsibilities then this is a great learning opportunity. If you’re anyone outside of that, it’s not for you.

Cons

They paint a false picture for you in the interview process. They tell you that you’ll have a base plus commission once you start in office. Then you get into the office and it’s a complete lie. You are 100% commission until you attain certain metrics that take about 10-12 months to accomplish on average. What they’re doing is completely illegal. Also, it’s never a good feeling to be misled by a 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.
